Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court Abuja, has adjourned the money laundering case instituted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) against the immediate past Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, to March 6 and 7, 2025, for continuation of trial.
The court adjourned after the prosecution counsel, Kemi Pinheiro, SAN, called his two witnesses, one on subpoena.
The first witness, Segun Adelakun, who identified himself as the General Manager of EFAB Properties Limited, told the Court that the name of the former governor did not reflect on any of the two properties, which are located at 1, Ikogosi Road, Maitama and another one in Gwarinpa.
Giving an account of what transpired, he said sometime in 2020, his chairman, Chief Fabian Nwora, introduced him to a young man called Shehu Bello and that they had a discussion concerning the purchase of the property.
