In a dramatic turn of events, Bello arrived at the EFCC’s office on Tuesday morning, driving himself in a black Hilux, flanked by a team of lawyers.

His unaccompanied entry into the anti-graft agency stirred speculation, particularly following last week’s rumours of his impending visit—rumours his media aides refused to address.

The Punch reports that the visit comes in the wake of a recent Supreme Court judgment upholding the constitutionality of the EFCC, paving the way for the agency to intensify its pursuit of high-profile cases.

Bello’s latest legal troubles are tied to fresh charges brought against him by the EFCC. At the last court hearing on 14 November before Justice Maryanne Anenih of the Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja, the EFCC requested an adjournment to 27 November, citing the 30-day window for a summons issued to Bello.

While his co-defendants, Umar Oricha and Abdulsalami Hudu, were granted administrative bail, the anti-graft agency sought more time to secure Bello’s presence in court.

The trial judge adjourned the case, setting the stage for his arraignment tomorrow.

Bello’s appearance at the EFCC underscores the growing scrutiny surrounding his administration and raises questions about the next chapter in his legal battle.

All eyes are now on tomorrow’s court session, where the stakes will be higher than ever.
