Alleged fraud: Court issues public summons against Yahaya Bello
A High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in Maitama has issued a public summons against former Kogi Governor, Yahaya Bello, ordering him to appear in court on October 24 to face a 16-count charge of alleged fraud.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) filed the charges against Bello and two others, Umar Oricha and Abdulsalami Hudu, alleging criminal breach of trust to the tune of N110.4 billion.
Justice Maryanne Anenih issued the public summons on Thursday after the EFCC applied for it, citing inability to serve Bello with the charges.
Bello’s absence stalled his arraignment, previously scheduled for Thursday.
This development follows previous attempts to summon Bello to court, including a May ruling by Justice Emeka Nwite insisting on his physical appearance and a Court of Appeal order last month.
