The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has filed fresh corruption charges against former Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello, who is still being wanted for an earlier money laundering case.
EFCC accuses Mr Bello in the fresh case of dishonestly diverting more than N110 billion from the Kogi State Government’s treasury while he was governor for eight years.
The fresh case was filed at the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court in Abuja on Tuesday. It adds to Mr Bello’s legal troubles, with an earlier money laundering case involving alleged diversion of more than N80 billion still pending against him at the Federal High Court in Abuja.
