Yahaya Bello’s Arraignment Postponed: Court Sets New Date for July 17
The court has postponed the arraignment of Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello to July 17. The arraignment, initially scheduled for Thursday, was adjourned to allow both the defense and prosecution more time to prepare.
Governor Bello is facing charges from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for alleged corruption and financial mismanagement during his tenure. The charges include misappropriation of funds, abuse of office, and money laundering, which Bello denies, calling them politically motivated.
The adjournment has sparked mixed reactions. Supporters believe it ensures a fair trial, while critics argue it delays justice. As the new date approaches, the public anticipates significant developments in this high-profile case.
