    Former Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, has requested that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) case against him be transferred to Kogi State. Bello’s legal team argues that since the alleged offence was committed during his tenure as governor, it is appropriate for the case to be heard in Kogi State.

    Bello is set to be arraigned today at the Federal High Court in Abuja on alleged fraud charges amounting to N82 billion. The EFCC will be prosecuting the case on behalf of the federal government.

    The arraignment is listed as number seven on Justice Emeka Nwite’s cause list. However, it remains uncertain whether Bello will appear in court as expected.
