Yahaya Bello, the ex-Governor of Kogi State, has finally decided to show up for a hearing with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). This comes after an Abuja Court of Appeal ruling on August 20 that ordered him to appear for his arraignment.
The EFCC had previously issued an arrest warrant for him due to his repeated failure to follow court orders. As a key figure in the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bello is facing a slew of charges, including 19 counts related to money laundering, breach of trust, and allegedly misusing around N80.2 billion in public funds.
