Former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello was finally arraigned in Abuja, facing allegations of fraud totaling ₦110 billion.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) filed 19 charges against Bello and three co-defendants: his nephews Ali Bello, Dauda Suliman, and Abdulsalam Hudu.
The accusations involve laundering ₦80 billion, part of the total sum in question.
The case had experienced delays since its inception, but the arraignment marks a significant development in the legal proceedings. Bello appeared composed during his court appearance, with reports capturing him smiling amidst the proceedings.
The EFCC claims that the laundered funds were diverted from state coffers during Bello’s tenure as governor. Details of the charges reveal alleged financial irregularities, including complex laundering schemes involving his close associates.
