Produce yourself for arraignment, Appeal Court orders Yahaya Bello

The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja has ordered former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, to present himself for arraignment.

The court in its verdict on Tuesday, August 20, also restrained him from taking further action until he is arraigned. Additionally, the court has set aside the judgment previously delivered by the Kogi State High Court.

Bello’s whereabouts have been unknown since the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, attempted to arrest him during a raid from his residence in Abuja, a few months ago.

Governor Usman Ododo had scuttled attempts by EFCC’s operatives to arrest Bello from his residence in Abuja. EFCC is currently prosecuting Bello for alleged misappropriation of over N80 billion while he was a governor for eight years.
