Yahaya Bello, the immediate former governor of Kogi State, has arrived at the Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja for the hearing of the alleged N110 billion fraud case against him.
Bello had been declared wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in April 2024.
He reported to the EFCC headquarters in Abuja on Tuesday, where he was interrogated. The former governor was subsequently taken to court on Wednesday morning.
Since the charges were filed against Bello, the EFCC has faced challenges in bringing him to court for his arraignment.
The commission initially filed 19 charges against Bello, along with his nephews Ali Bello, Dauda Suliman, and Abdulsalam Hudu, for money laundering offenses involving over N80 billion.
