Former Governor of Kogi State; Yahaya Bello, has returned to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to honor another invitation over alleged misappropriation of funds.

Bello went to the office in the company of his lawyers on Tuesday morning, following the Supreme Court judgment which dismissed a suit brought by some states of the federation on the constitutionality of the anti-graft agency.

At the last hearing on November 14, the EFCC had sought for adjournment till November 27 in the fresh case it instituted against Bello, saying that the 30 days window was still running for the summons earlier issued.

It is however unclear how long the Anti-graft agency intends to keep the former Governor in its custody

The immediate past Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji YAHAYA BELLO, who is facing a 19-count charge, has written a letter to the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice JOHN TSOHO, pleading to be allowed to face his trial in Kogi.

 The former Kogi state governor, BELLO, in the letter he wrote through his team of lawyers led by Mr. ABDULWAHAB MOHAMMED, SAN, maintained that only Lokoja Division of the high court has the territorial jurisdiction to entertain the allegations that were raised against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

 At the resumed proceeding in the matter, BELLO, failed to appear before the Federal High Court in Abuja to enter his plea to the charge against him whereas his lawyer, Mr. ADEOLA ADEDIPE, SAN was present to inform the trial Judge, Justice EMEKA NWITE of his client’s letter to the Chief Judge.
