The Federal High Court in Abuja, presided over by Justice Emeka Nwite, has adjourned the case brought by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) against former Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, to April 23rd.
The adjournment aims to facilitate substituted service and potential arraignment of Bello over allegations of N84 billion money laundering.

During the latest session, EFCC’s Counsel, Kemi Phinro, informed the court of Bello’s absence, attributing it to the protection provided by an individual with immunity.
Phinro disclosed that Bello was reportedly taken from his Abuja residence by the same individual with immunity.
Expressing concern over Bello’s evasion, Phinro hinted at the possibility of the EFCC seeking assistance from the military to apprehend him.
