The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has presented additional bank documents in the ongoing ₦110.4 billion fraud trial of former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, at the FCT High Court in Abuja. Bello is facing a 16-count charge alongside Umar Oricha and Abdulsalami Hudu over alleged criminal breach of trust and money laundering.
At the resumed hearing, a Zenith Bank compliance officer testified, explaining several transactions linked to the accounts under scrutiny. The witness confirmed payments and transfers involving government-linked funds but told the court he could not determine the purposes of specific withdrawals.
Defence lawyers queried transaction entries, cheque payments, and account records, while the witness maintained that all withdrawals were properly signed by authorised signatories. He also identified documents related to the Government House account and company accounts tied to the case.
Justice Maryanne Anineh adjourned the matter to a later date for further hearing as the EFCC continues to build its case.
