EFCC siege: Abuja, Kogi courts issue counter orders over Yahaya Bello
A federal high court in Abuja has issued an arrest warrant
against Yahaya Bello, a former governor of Kogi state.
Emeka Nwite, the presiding judge, granted the arrest warrant
to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Wednesday.
However, in a dramatic twist, a Kogi high court presided
over by I. A Jamil has restrained the anti-graft agency from arresting the
former governor.
In suit no HCL/68/M/2020, the court restrained the EFCC from
“arresting, detaining and prosecuting the applicant except as authorised by the
court”.
