A High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, presided over by Justice Maryanne Anenih, on Thursday issued a public summons against the immediate past Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, to attend court and answer to a fresh 16-count pending allegations against him.
Consequently, the former Governor is to attend court on October 24 in response to the summons and for his arraignment along with two other defendants.
The judge decided while delivering a ruling on an application by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Justice Anenih also directed the anti-graft agency to publish the public summons in a widely circulating newspaper.
The court also ordered the EFCC to paste copies of the public summons at Bello’s last known address and in conspicuous places on court premises.
