Finally, ex-Kogi gov, Yahaya Bello, appears in court for alleged N110.4bn fraud case

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arraigned former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, before the Federal Capital Territory High Court for his alleged involvement in a N110.4 billion fraud.

Bello, who was previously on the run, turned himself in and appeared in court dressed in a white caftan and blue cap. He was accompanied by armed operatives of the EFCC.

The former governor and his two co-defendants, Umar Oricha and Abdulsalami Hudu, face 16-count charges bordering on conspiracy, criminal breach of trust, and possession of unlawfully obtained property.
