Yahaya Bello Faces Explosive N80.2B Fraud Trial In Abuja: Federal High Court Rejects Ex-Governor'S Plea

Yahaya Bello, the former Governor of Kogi, had his request to move his N80.2 billion fraud case from Abuja to the Kogi State division of the court denied by Justice John Tsoho, the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court. This decision means that the case will proceed in Abuja, despite Bello’s legal team’s efforts to have it transferred to Kogi State. Bello is facing charges of money laundering and fraud to the tune of N80.2 billion, and the case has been ongoing for several months.

The denial of Bello’s request is a significant development in the case, as it means that the former governor will not be able to use his influence in Kogi State to sway the proceedings. The case will now continue in Abuja, where the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has been investigating Yahaya Bello’s alleged fraudulent activities. The EFCC has been working to bring Bello to justice, and this decision is a major step forward in that effort.
