Bello have been reportedly moving around with Gov. Ododo, his handpicked successor since leaving office.
Gov. Ododo took Bello to pay homage to Bola Tinubu during the Sallah holiday in Lagos and the visit was centered on securing President TINUBU assurance that the EFCC will not go after him.
After that visit, he checked into his residence located at Benghazi Street, Wuse Zone 4, thinking he has secured assurance that the antigraft agency will no longer go after him, but not knowing that the presidency has not reached out to the EFCC.
