A High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in Maitama has rejected the bail request by a former governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello.
Bello is standing trial, along with two others, in an alleged N110bn money laundering charge brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Justice Maryanne Anenih, in a ruling on Tuesday, faulted the competence of Bello’s bail application and held that it was filed prematurely.
Justice Anenih held that the application, having been filed when Bello was neither in custody nor before the court, his application was incompetent.
She said: “Consequently, the instant application, having been filed prematurely is hereby refused.”
