No banking rules breached, witness tells court in Yahaya Bello’s 'N110bn fraud' trial

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Wednesday presented additional witnesses in the ongoing N110 billion money laundering trial of Yahaya Bello, the former governor of Kogi.

The former governor is facing trial at the high court of the federal capital territory (FCT), Maitama, Abuja.

Bello, who governed Kogi state from 2016 to 2024, is standing trial alongside two former state officials—Umar Shuaibu Oricha and Abdulsalami Hudu—on a 16-count charge bordering on alleged diversion and laundering of public funds.
