The Federal Capital Territory High Court, on Thursday, ruled that the international passport of the ex-Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, was not in its custody, to direct its release.
Justice Maryann Anenih of the Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja declared this while ruling on Bello’s application to travel out of Nigeria for medical attention amid opposition by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC).
Nairametrics previously reported that Bello and his two co-defendants had earlier pleaded not guilty to the alleged N110.4 billion fraud case before Justice Maryann E. Anenih.
