EFCC to Arraign Yahaya Bello Over Alleged N80.2bn Money Laundering

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is set to arraign former Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello, on Thursday before a Federal High Court in Abuja. Bello, along with three other suspects, faces 19-count charges related to money laundering totaling N80,246,470,088.88.

The charges stem from alleged unlawful activities, including criminal breach of trust, conspiracy, and aiding the concealment of funds. Despite resistance during an attempt to execute a warrant of arrest against Bello, the EFCC remains committed to ensuring justice.

The arraignment follows a warrant of arrest and an enrollment order granted by the court. While Bello’s alleged involvement in money laundering is under scrutiny, the EFCC emphasizes that no individual is above the law, and Bello will face the charges against him in court.
