Read Time:38 Second
Yahaya Bello, the former governor of Kogi State, entered a not guilty plea to the EFCC’s (Economic and Financial Crimes Commission) alleged N80 billion scam.
Bello was charged by the EFCC on 19 counts that bordered on suspected money laundering before Federal High Court Judge Emeka Nwite in Abuja.
Kemi Pinheiro, SAN, the EFCC’s counsel, informed the court at the reopened hearing that he intended to withdraw a previous application for an arraignment date abridgement.
He said that circumstances had taken precedence over the application.
Joseph Daudu, SAN, the defendants’ attorney, did not protest, thus Justice Emeka Nwite approved the request and rejected the application.
