We’ve 28 More Witnesses Against Yahaya Bello – EFCC Tells Court

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Thursday has made a revelation about its case against ex-Kogi governor, Yahaya Bello.

 
The anti-graft agency told the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja that it has 28 more witnesses to testify against the former Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello.
 
The EFCC disclosed this at the resumed proceeding on the 19-count money laundering charge it preferred against the former governor.
 
The lead prosecution counsel, Prof Kemi Pinheiro, SAN, told the court that 10 of the scheduled witnesses would be subpoenaed to testify and tender documents in the matter.
 
The anti-graft agency made the disclosure shortly before trial.
 
Justice Emeka Nwite adjourned the case till Friday to enable the defence lawyers further cross-examine the third witness, PW-3, Mr Nicholas Ojehomon, who is an Internal Auditor at the American International School, Abuja.
 
According to the prosecution, the ex-governor had, through proxies, wired funds into the account of the school to cover for future tuition fees of his four children.
 
The prosecution further alleged that the funds were drawn from the coffers of the Kogi State Government, adding that the defendant also paid for a fifth child he had not given birth to.
 
However, while being cross-examined by ex-governor Bello’s counsel, Prof. J. B. Daudu, SAN, the witness admitted before the court that no funds were paid into the school’s account from the Kogi State treasury.
