Former Kogi Governor Yahaya Bello’s trial over alleged ₦80.2 billion money laundering resumed in Abuja, with EFCC presenting evidence linking a property purchase to his name, though an accountant testified he was not involved.
The trial of former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello resumed in Abuja’s Federal High Court, with the EFCC presenting testimony in a money laundering case involving about ₦80.2 billion.
Prosecution witnesses testified that a property in Abuja was purchased for ₦650 million in October 2021 by Shehu Bello, not Bello, with payments made through multiple accounts and bureau de change operators.
Documents including an Offer Letter and Deed of Assignment were admitted as evidence, though the latter lacked property value details.
A key accountant testified Bello was not involved in the transactions.
The court adjourned the trial to April 22–24 and May 6–7, 2026, while the prosecution sought to restrict Bello’s travel, a move opposed by the defense.
