The Nigeria Police Force has taken decisive action against a female police officer who previously served as the aide-de-camp to the embattled former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello.
Following orders from Inspector General of Police, Olukayode Egbetokun, she has been detained along with other police officers assigned to Bello.
Their detention, currently taking place at the State Criminal Investigation Department in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, stems from suspicions that they aided and abetted the former governor’s escape from the EFCC custody.
According to senior police sources who spoke anonymously, “The ADC and the other police details attached to Yahaya Bello have been arrested and detained. They were arrested on the suspicion that they aided and abetted the former governor’s escape from the EFCC on Wednesday.”
Another source disclosed, “Yahaya Bello’s female ADC and other police officers attached to him were brought to the command this morning, and they’ve been detained for aiding and abetting (the governor’s escape).”
The withdrawal of police officers assigned to Bello was ordered by Egbetokun on Thursday night. The directive was transmitted via a police wireless message, instructing the immediate withdrawal of all personnel attached to the former governor.
