The Federal High Court in Abuja has adjourned the trial of former Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello, to December 10 while remanding him in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The EFCC had also opposed his bail application in court on Wednesday.
Yahaya Bello had earlier pleaded “not guity” to the 16 counts charge brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission at the Federal High Court.
His case was adjourned to December 10 for the reading of his bail application.
He is to remain with the EFCC.
The fraud trial involving Yahaya Bello, had become chaotic on Wednesday morning when a crowd of his supporters stormed the court room.
Bello, who was arraigned at the FCT High Court on Wednesday, had asked his rascally followers and aides to leave the courtroom to ensure sanity.
Thereafter, Justice Maryann Anenih took the plea of the former governor and two others.
Meanwhile, Kemi Pinheiro SAN led the federal government’s legal team for the arraignment, while Joseph Bodunde Dauda SAN led the legal team for the former governor in the 16-count charges.
