The Federal Capital Territory High Court has today, remanded the immediate past governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, in Kuje Correctional Centre, pending hearing of his bail application.
Justice Maryann Anenih also adjourned hearing in the N110 billion money laundering case brought against Bello by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to January 29 and 30 and February 25 and 27, 2027, for hearing.
The judge had earlier refused to grant a bail application filed by the former governor, saying it was filed prematurely.
Justice Anenih, while delivering the ruling, said having been filed when the 1st defendant, Bello, was neither in custody nor before the court, the application was incompetent.
The former governor is standing trial, along with two others over an alleged N110bn money laundering charge brought against them the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
