EFCC postpones Yahaya Bello's arraignment to Nov 14, 2024; defense objects to prolonged detention.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has postponed the arraignment of former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello and two others to November 14, 2024. The EFCC argued for the delay to facilitate a summons for Bello. Defense attorneys objected, claiming prolonged detention violates fair hearing rights. The court also set a hearing for November 20, and denied an oral bail request, requiring a formal application instead.
