The Court of Appeal on Tuesday, August 20, ordered the former governor of Kogi state, Yahaya Bello to appear before it following the corruption charges filed against him by the EFCC.

The Court also restrained Bello from taking further steps in the charge unless he is arraigned.

The court further set aside the judgment delivered by the Kogi State High Court.

Bello’s whereabouts have been unknown since the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, attempted to arrest him during a raid from his residence in Abuja, a few months ago.

Governor Usman Ododo had scuttled attempts by EFCC’s operatives to arrest Bello from his residence in Abuja.

EFCC is currently prosecuting Bello for alleged misappropriation of over N80 billion while he was a governor for eight years.
