The immediate past governor of Benue, Samuel Ortom, has reacted to the face-off between his Kogi counterpart, Yahaya Bello and Economic and Financial Crimes Communities (EFCC), following an alleged misappropriation of N80.2 billion by the former while serving as Kogi governor.

According to him, Yahaya Bello has been unreachable since he was declared wanted by the anti-graft agency.

He, however, advised the former Kogi governor to stop hiding and submit himself to EFCC for proper scrutiny.
