Court Adjourns EFCC Evidence Ruling in Yahaya Bello Case
The Federal High Court in Abuja, presided over by Justice Emeka Nwite, has adjourned until April 24, 2026, to rule on whether the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) can re-present Exhibit 46 to a witness in the money laundering trial of former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello. Bello's lawyer, Joseph Daudu SAN, objected to the EFCC's counsel, Kemi Pinheiro SAN, who sought to present evidence that contradicted the witness's initial statement.
The witness, Abdullahi Jamilu, is associated with Kumfayakum Global Limited and is alleged to have converted certain funds into US dollars. The court heard arguments regarding the admissibility of documents and the witness's credibility, with Daudu SAN asserting that the EFCC's approach violated legal procedures.
The case continues to unfold as the court examines the evidence presented, with the next session set for April 2026.
