Yahaya Bello Takes Money Laundering Allegations to Supreme Court
Former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, is escalating his ongoing legal battle with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to the Supreme Court, as he seeks to overturn an arrest warrant issued by a lower court. The Federal High Court in Abuja has postponed the money laundering case initiated against Bello by the EFCC, with the next ruling now scheduled for October 30, 2024.
Justice Emeka Nwite granted the adjournment following a submission from Bello’s legal team, which indicated their intent to appeal the arrest warrant issued by the court on April 17. Bello’s defense counsel, A.M. Adoyi, informed the court that the Court of Appeal’s ruling, which required Bello to present himself for arraignment, has been taken up to the Supreme Court for further legal review.
