Alleged Fraud: Yahaya Bello, Others Plea Not-Guilty, Remanded In EFCC Custody Till Dec 10
A High Court sitting in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, has remanded a former governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, and his two co-defendants in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Justice Maryanne Anenih, who issued the order on Wednesday, said Bello and others should remain in EFCC custody until December 10 when she planned to rule on the ex-governor’s and the co-defendants’ bail applications.
Earlier, Bello was arraigned along with Umar Oricha and Abdulsalami Hudu on 16 counts brought against them by the EFCC.
Bello, Oricha and Hudu pleaded not guilty when the charges were read to them, following which the judge took arguments from lawyers to parties on the defendants’ bail applications.
The EFCC is, in the charge, alleging criminal breach of trust to the tune of N110.4billion.
