Former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello has been remanded in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) by an Abuja Federal Capital Territory High Court.
Bello, along with two co-defendants, Umar Shoaib Oricha and Abdulsalami Hudu, faces a 16-count charge related to alleged money laundering involving over ₦110 billion.
The EFCC alleges that the funds were used to acquire properties in Abuja and Dubai during Bello’s tenure as governor.
While Bello pleaded not guilty, his lawyer, Joseph Daudu, applied for bail, arguing that the offenses were bailable and that his client should prepare for trial while enjoying his liberty.
The EFCC opposed the application, asserting procedural issues and risks. The judge adjourned the case to December 10, 2024, for a decision on the bail application and ordered the defendants to remain in custody until then.
