September 25, 2024 4:43 pmA federal high court in Abuja has again adjourned the alleged money laundering case filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission against Yahaya Bello, former Kogi governor.After filing a 19-count charge, the EFCC has been seeking to arraign Bello since April,At the resumed court session on Wednesday, the former governor was represented by A.M. Adoyi.
“The appeal number is SC/CR/847/2024 and SC/CR/848/2024. That means the most appropriate thing to do is to await the decision of the supreme court in the aforesaid appeal before taking any step for arraignment so as not to render the appellant’s appeal null or to pull the rug from off the feet of my learned justices of the supreme court,” Adoyi said.Responding, Kemi Pinheiro, EFCC counsel, submitted that the defence was taking the court for granted.
“Rather than respect the sanctity of the constitution and this court, the defendant through his lawyers has deployed all manner of chicanery.
