A Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday issued an order empowering the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to arrest the former Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello.
Justice Emeka Nwite issued the order in a ruling on an ex-parte motion, marked: FHC/ABJ/CR/98/2024, filed April 17 by the EFCC.
Justice Nwite, after listening to EFCC’s lawyer, Rotimi Oyedepo (SAN), who moved the motion, said he was satisfied with the grounds for the reliefs and was inclined to grant the prayer sought.
The judge particularly ordered that a warrant be issued to the EFCC for the arrest of the former Governor of Kogi State.
Justice Nwite directed that Bello be apprehended and produced before his court on April 18 for arraignment.
The judge said: “It is hereby ordered as follows:
“That an order of this honourable court is hereby made directing and/or issuing a warrant for the immediate arrest of the defendant for the purpose of bringing him before this honourable court for arraignment.
“That case is adjourned to 18th day of April, 2024 for arraignment.”
