A High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in Maitama has issued a public summon against immediate past governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello.<\/p>\n
The court ordered Bello to attend court and answer to a fresh 16-count charge pending against him.<\/p>\n
By the summons, Bello is to attend court on October 24 for his arraignment alongside two other defendants.<\/p>\n
Justice Maryanne Anenih issued the order for public summons in a ruling on Thursday, following an application by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.<\/p>\n
Justice Anenih ordered the EFCC to publish the public summons in a widely circulating newspaper<\/p>\n
She also ordered the EFCC to paste copies of the public summons on Bello\u2019s last known address and in conspicuous places in the court premises.<\/p>\n
The EFCC had claimed that it has been unable to serve Bello with the charge filed on September 24, in which the ex-governor and two others were charged with criminal breach of trust to the tune of N110.4billion.<\/p>\n
The other two defendants in the charge are Umar Oricha and Abdulsalami Hudu.<\/p>\n
Bello\u2019s absence stalled the arraignment earlier scheduled for Thursday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
