Former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello has been summoned to appear before the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in Maitama on October 24, to face a 16-count charge of criminal breach of trust amounting to N110.4 billion.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) filed the charges against Bello and two others, Umar Oricha and Abdulsalami Hudu.
Justice Maryanne Anenih issued the public summons on Thursday, after the EFCC complained of being unable to serve Bello with the charges filed on September 24. The commission alleged that Bello’s absence stalled his arraignment, initially scheduled for Thursday.
