EFCC Links Ali Bello to N10.27bn Fraud Case in Court
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is prosecuting Ali Bello, Chief of Staff to Kogi State Governor, alongside Dauda Sulaiman, on 16 counts of alleged financial crimes, including misappropriation and money laundering involving N10,270,556,800. The trial is ongoing at the Federal High Court in Maitama, Abuja, under Justice Jame Omotosho.
Witness Ahmad Audu Abubakar testified about various fund transfers linked to Bello, including a N91,000 payment on February 5, 2021, and a N150 million cash transport transaction on February 19, 2021. The prosecution presented evidence of N100 million in total payments to Bello, with transactions traced to Dantata & Sawoe Construction Company.
The defense challenged the admissibility of certain statements, arguing they did not comply with legal standards. Justice Omotosho ordered the trial to proceed, with the next hearing scheduled for February 17, 2026.
