TNG reports former Governor Bello is standing trial, along with two others, in an alleged N110 billion money laundering charge brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Justice Maryann Anenih refused to grant a bail application filed by Bello, saying it was filed prematurely. Justice Anenih subsequently adjourned the case until January 29, February 25, and February 27, 2025 for the continuation of the hearing.
