Yahaya Bello
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is set to arraign former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello before the Federal High Court in Abuja today.
Bello is facing a new 19-count indictment tied to alleged money laundering activities.
The charges are part of an ongoing investigation into allegations of financial misconduct during Bello’s tenure as governor. The EFCC accuses him of orchestrating illicit financial transactions that contravened the provisions of Nigeria’s Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act.
This development adds to the legal challenges Bello has faced since leaving office, with the EFCC intensifying its efforts to combat corruption among public officials.
The arraignment is expected to attract significant attention as it unfolds in court later today. Details of the specific allegations and Bello’s plea will be disclosed during the proceedings.
The EFCC has reiterated its commitment to upholding the rule of law and ensuring accountability, regardless of an individual’s status or political affiliations.
