The Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja has summoned the former Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello over allegations of criminal breach of trust.
The summons issued by Justice Maryann E. Anenih on October 3, 2024, reads in part;
“You are hereby summoned to appear before the Federal Capital Territory High Court of Justice (High Court No. 3) sitting at Maitama on the 14th day of November 2024 at the hour of 9.00am to answer the said complainant.”
According to the summons, Yahaya Bello is accused of violating Section 311 of the Penal Code Law, Cap. 89 Laws of Northern Nigeria 1963, which deals with criminal breach of trust and is punishable under Section 312.
EFCC had through its counsel Dr. Kemi Pinheiro SAN applied Justice Emeka Nwite for bench warrant to compel the appearance of the embattled former Kogi Governor Bello’s appearance in court with the respect to the alleged N80.2bn fraud.
Recall that Yahaya Bello had before now been declared wanted by the EFCC over allegations of money laundering.
