Former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello has pleaded not guilty to a 16-count charge of money laundering brought against him by the Federal Government.
The charges allege misappropriation and misuse of public funds, including acquiring multiple high-value properties in Abuja, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States.
The funds allegedly misused amount to billions of naira, with specific accusations such as purchasing properties in Abuja’s Maitama and Asokoro districts and sending large sums of money abroad.
Bello, along with other defendants, is accused of breaching public trust and engaging in dishonest financial activities during his time as governor.
The end they justify the reality. Am not bothered by this drama that have often turned out to be making fool of us. They know what they are doing. Tell me which big and mighty that have been convicted of defrauding us of our collective wealth except not in the good book of those calling the shot. I would want to be proven wrong if this is not another abracadabra. Am waiting to see.
