to reports from the SSS Bello was arrested on January 27, 2013 while
negotiating with some aides of his would-be victim He was later handed
over to the EFCC for prosecution.

the EFCC’s office, the politician-turned conman said that he was
working with certain Nelson Ndukwe and Chuks Offor, both aides of Mrs.
Orji to perfect his nefarious agenda of swindling her. He confessed that
he impersonated the EFCC’s Director of Operations. “I’m sorry that I
impersonated the Operations Director of the EFCC. I did it to be able to
arrest Mrs. Orji’s assistants who are said to be working for her to
launder money. It was my first time of doing this. EFCC should help me
out of this”, he begged.
The Kogi born-politician has reportedly made “useful statement” to the anti-graft agency and would be charged to court soon.
