According to Daily Trust, Bello was on his way to Lokoja from Abuja.

Apparently appealing for a second term in office come November, the governor made the 4+4 sign with his fingers as he sprayed three bundles of N500 notes.

Pedestrians, petty traders, commercial motorcyclists all abandoned their trade as they scrambled to get hold of the money.
