Abdulwahab Muhammed, counsel to Yahaya Bello, former governor of Kogi, says his client was in his state when operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission besieged his Abuja residence on Wednesday.
Bello’s counsel said this at the federal high court in Abuja, during the hearing of the alleged money laundering case against Alli Bello, chief of staff to Usman Ododo, governor of Kogi; Yahaya Bello, and one Daudu Suleiman.Muhammed said Bello was awaiting the judgment of a high court in the state, which restrained the anti-graft agency from arresting him, when he learnt that his Abuja residence had been invaded.
Alli and one Daudu Suleiman are the two defendants in the 17-count amended charge. The EFCC alleged that the suspects diverted about N100 billion belonging to the Kogi government. Responding to the EFCC charge, the Kogi government said funds belonging to the state were not missing during the administration of the former governor.Click on the link below to join TheCable Channel on WhatsApp for your Breaking News, Business Analysis, Politics, Fact Check, Sports and Entertainment News!
