Governor Usman Ododo has arrived at the scene where some operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission have barricaded the Abuja residence of ex-Governor Yahaya Bello.

Mr Ododo arrived at the Abuja residence of Mr Bello, located at Benghazi Street, Wuse Zone 4, at about 2:45 pm.

The EFCC officials and armed security personnel had barricaded Mr Bello’s Abuja home, blocking both entrances.

An EFCC official, who did not want to be named because he was not authorised to speak on the matter, told Peoples Gazette that EFCC operatives tried to gain entry into the house but were denied access by Mr Bello’s security personnel.
