The trial of former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello for an alleged ₦80.2 billion fraud continued in the Federal High Court in Maitama, Abuja. Bello faces 19 counts bordering on money laundering.
The prosecution, led by Prof. Kemi Pinheiro SAN, presented its seventh witness for cross-examination. The defense sought to tender certain documents, but the court rejected them due to the absence of receipts as evidence of payment.
The court upheld the objection, emphasizing the need for proper documentation. The proceedings highlighted transactions involving Abba Adaudu, including payments made for specific purposes to local governments.
The trial was adjourned for further proceedings.
