In a significant development, Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court in Abuja, on Tuesday, directed the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to serve charges of alleged fraud on the lawyer representing Yahaya Bello, the immediate past governor of Kogi State.
The charges pertain to a staggering ₦84 billion ($187 million USD) alleged fraud case.
This move comes amidst ongoing investigations by the EFCC into the financial dealings of the Bello administration during his two terms as governor (2016-2024).
