Alleged Fraud Case: Court Adjourns Suit Against Former Kogi Governor Bello to January 21

Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court in Abuja has adjourned the hearing in the alleged money laundering case against the immediate past governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, to January 21, 2025. The case, brought by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), resumed on Wednesday, with EFCC Counsel Kemi Pinheiro informing the court that two witnesses were present and ready to testify.

Pinheiro applied for the court to formally enter a plea of not guilty on behalf of Bello, despite his absence, arguing that this was fully compliant with Section 276 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act. He emphasized that while Bello has the right to plead guilty or not guilty, this right can be waived, urging the court to recognize that Bello has effectively waived it. Pinheiro further explained that the court’s entry of a not-guilty plea would invite the prosecution to present evidence proving the veracity of the allegations.

However, counsel for the defense objected, stating that the EFCC’s application contradicted a standing order from the judge. The defense argued that no application could be entertained without the formal arraignment of the defendant. “The prosecution has repeatedly claimed that the court cannot demonstrate helplessness,” the defense counsel noted. “The court cannot display helplessness in any proceeding, and if any helplessness exists here, it is on the prosecution’s part.”

During a ministerial screening in the Senate on Wednesday, Senate President Godswill Akpabio gently reminded Senator Osita Ngwu to focus on credentials rather than personal remarks after Ngwu praised the beauty of nominee Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu. Bianca, along with six other nominees, presented her credentials before the Senate, where she was being considered for the role of Minister of State for Foreign Affairs.

As the question session began, Ngwu, the Senator representing Enugu West District, opened his remarks by complimenting Bianca’s appearance, drawing a light-hearted response from Akpabio.

“Mr. President, the beautiful nominee standing before us…” Ngwu began.

Akpabio quickly interjected with a playful tone, “Stick to the resume, please. She didn’t include her beauty in the CV.”
