Kogi ex-governor Yahaya Bello seeks trial transfer of N80.2bn fraud case to Kogi High Court.
Former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello has requested a transfer of his ongoing trial over an alleged N80.2bn fraud case to Kogi, the state capital. Bello, who is facing a 19-count charge, argues that only the Lokoja Division of the high court has the territorial jurisdiction to handle the allegations brought against him by the EFCC. This case stems from accusations of money laundering, breach of trust, and misappropriation of public funds.
