There was pandemonium as the sound of gunshots rend the air when Kogi State governor, Ahmed Ododo, allegedly prevented the arrest of his predecessor in office and political god-gather, Yahaya Bello, at the latter’s Abuja residence on Wednesday.
It was earlier reported a standoff at Bello’s residence on Wednesday afternoon when armed operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) stormed the premises to carry out Bello’s arrest.
Governor Ododo, who had arrived the residence amid the standoff, was suspected to have later departed the residence with Bello in his official vehicle with tinted glasses.
Hours after the arrival of the EFCC operatives and inability to achieve their mission, they reinforced with backup support from the Police and Department of State Services (DSS) operatives.
However, as Governor Ododo was leaving Bello’s residence, the security operatives got the feelers that the former governor was in the governor’s vehicle, a development that prompted them to open fire.
