Yahaya Bello, the former Governor of Kogi State, has honoured an invitation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over alleged misappropriation of funds.
Bello arrived at the EFCC office in Abuja on Tuesday morning, accompanied by his lawyers. This visit comes after the Supreme Court dismissed a case challenging the constitutionality of the EFCC.
The former governor is facing fresh charges, including a 16-count charge of criminal breach of trust and conspiracy to commit an offence to the tune of N110.4 billion. Bello is also wanted for alleged N80.2 billion money laundering charges.
At the last hearing on November 14, the EFCC sought an adjournment to November 27, citing the 30-day window for the summons issued to Bello. The trial judge subsequently adjourned the matter for Bello’s arraignment.
