The arraignment of former Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello before a Federal High Court by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC stalled on Thursday due to his absence in court.
Bello is to be arraigned by the anti-graft commission for looting of over ₦80bn belonging to the Kogi State government when he served as governor.
However, when the matter came up today, his lawyer saif there is an exparte order restraining EFCC from arresting and prosecuting the former Governor which EFCC appealed against at the Court of Appeal.
It will be recalled that the EFCC failed to arrest Mr. Bello on Wednesday after laying siege on his Abuja home for over 8 hours.
The incumbent, Usman Ododo came to the rescue of his predecessor preventing the commission from leaving with him.
