Court Issues Public Summons Against Yahaya Bello

A High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in Maitama has issued a public summons against immediate past Kogi Governor, Yahaya Bello to attend court and answer to a fresh 16-count pending against him.

By the summons, Bello is to attend court on October 24 in response to the summons and for his arraignment along with two other defendants.

Justice Maryanne Anenih issued the order for public summons in a ruling on Thursday, following an application by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Justice Anenih ordered the EFCC to publish the public sommons in a widely circulating newspaper

She also ordered the EFCC to past copies of the public summons on Bello’s last known address and in conspicuous places in court premises.

The EFCC had claimed that it has been unable to serve Bello with the charge filed on September 24 and in which the ex-governor and two others were charged with criminal breach of trust to the tune of N110.4billion.

The other two defendants in the charge are Umar Oricha and Abdulsalami Hudu.

Bello’s absence stalled the arraignment earlier scheduled for Thursday.

Details shortly…
