The former Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, has arrived at the Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja for the hearing on alleged N110 billion fraud preferred against him.
This was after he honoured the invitation of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Tuesday.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission Efcc, had instituted a 110bn alleged fraud suit against the former Governor.
Adorning a white kaftan and a blue cap, the former Governor was accompanied by officials of the EFCC.
He will be arraigned before Justice Maryanne Anenih of the FCT High Court.
The former governor, alongside Umar Oricha and Abdulsalami Hudu are being prosecuted as 1st to 3rd defendants, respectively, in a fresh N110bn 16-count charge instituted against them by the EFCC.
The other defendants, Oricha and Hudu, however, have been given administrative bail by the commission
At the last hearing on November 14, the EFCC had sought adjournment to Wednesday, November 27 in the fresh case it instituted against Bello, saying the 30-day window was still running for the summons earlier issued.
The EFCC, however, admitted his co-defendants, Umar Oricha and Abdulsalami Hudu, to administrative bail and prayed to the court for an extension of time for the 1st Defendant to appear.
