There was anxiety in Kogi State on Sunday following the non-appearance of Governor Yahaya Bello in public in the last two weeks.

Sources said the governor might have been flown abroad to treat an undisclosed ailment.

All state functions have been put on hold leaving the Deputy Governor, Simon Achuba, with only the duty of receiving visitors on behalf of his boss.

However, the governor’s spokesman, Kingsley Fanwo, has  denied that the governor is nursing any ailment.
