Court sets May 10 for ruling on Yahaya Bello’s application to vacate arrest warrant

A Federal High Court, Abuja, on Tuesday, fixed May 10 for ruling on an application by former Governor of Kogi, Yahaya Bello, seeking an order setting aside the April 17 arrest warrant issued against him.

Justice Emeka Nwite fixed the date after counsel for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Kemi Pinheiro, (SAN) and Bello’s lawyer, Adeola Adedipe, (SAN), adopted their processes and presented their arguments in the motion.

Justice Nwite had, on April 17, issued an arrest warrant to EFCC for Bello’s arrest.
