THE Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has officially declared former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, of the tatatatatata fame wanted for offences relating to money laundering amounting to N80.2 billion.
Stonix News reports that tatatatatata is an ideophone evoking some gun-totting sounds that characterised the governorship election in which the former governor was desperate to win a second term in office about five years ago.

The fleeing former governor is being wanted by the EFCC over alleged corrupt practices while in office.
It will be recalled that in the last 24 hours, it’s been a hide and seek game between the hunter and the hunted as the former makes frantic moves to apprehend and arraign the latter in court on Thursday.
In a statement released by the EFCC, members of the public were urged to provide any information regarding his whereabouts immediately to the commission or the nearest Police Station.
“Former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, is wanted by the EFCC for offences relating to economic and financial crimes to the tune of N80.2 Billion.
“Anybody with information as to his whereabouts should report immediately to the Commission or the nearest Police Station,” the poster in which he was declared wanted, read in part.
Meanwhile, earlier on Thursday, the EFCC had threatened to involve the military in executing the order issued on Wednesday, April 17, for the arrest of the former governor who’s now taking cover under the immunity of his man Friday and governor of Kogi State, Ahmed Ododo
