BREAKING: Embattled ex-Kogi Gov, Yahaya Bello seeks transfer of N83bn fraud case to Kogi State

Former Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, has asked the court to transfer the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) fraud case against him to Kogi State.

Bello’s legal team argues that the case should be heard in Kogi State because the alleged offence was committed during his tenure as governor.

The former governor is expected to be arraigned at the Federal High Court in Abuja, today, on alleged fraud charges totalling N82 billion.

The EFCC will be prosecuting the case on behalf of the federal government.

The arraignment is listed as number 7 on Justice Emeka Nwite’s cause list.

However, it remains uncertain whether Bello will appear in court as promised.

More details shortly.
