Breaking: Yahaya Bello bags fresh court charges
The immediate past Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, will be charged before the Federal High Court in Abuja on a 19-count charge that borders on alleged N80.2billion fraud.
He will be charged by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Thursday.
Bello will be docked alongside his nephew, Ali Bello and two others- Dauda Suleiman and Abdulsalam Hudu before trial Justice Emeka Nwite.
It will be recalled that Justice Nwite had on April 17, issued a warrant for the arrest of the former governor following his repeated failure to appear before the court for his arraignment.
After months of hide-and-seek, Bello, on Tuesday, surrendered himself to the anti-graft agency which docked him before a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory on Wednesday.
Justice Maryanne Anenih of the FCT high court had upon the plea of not guilty by the defendant, remanded him in custody of the EFCC.
Meanwhile, though the instant case at the Federal High Court was originally adjourned till January 21, 2025, however, the anti-graft agency persuaded trial Justice Nwite to shorten the date.
Those to be arraigned alongside the ex-governor are his nephew, Ali Bello and two others- Dauda Suleiman and Abdulsalam Hudu.
