The Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja has granted bail to Yahaya Bello, the former governor of Kogi State, in a case involving allegations of fraud totaling N110.4 billion.
Justice MaryAnne Anenih, presiding over the case, set the bail at N500 million with three sureties, following a fresh application after Bello’s initial bail request was denied.
Bello, alongside two co-defendants, Umar Oricha and Abdulsalami Hudu, is facing 16 charges brought by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). The charges include criminal breach of trust and money laundering.
