The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has tendered additional documentary evidence in the ongoing trial of former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, over the alleged ₦110.4 billion fraud.
The evidence was presented on Thursday before Justice Maryanne Anineh of the Federal Capital Territory High Court, Abuja, as the prosecution called bank officials to testify on transactions linked to accounts and companies associated with the case. The EFCC tendered bank statements, certificates of compliance, and other financial records, which were admitted by the court despite objections from the defence.
Bello is standing trial on multiple counts bordering on criminal breach of trust and money laundering. The court adjourned the matter to a later date for continuation of hearing, as the prosecution continues to present witnesses and documents to substantiate its case.
