Former Kogi Governor Yahaya Bello on Thursday told the Federal High Court in Abuja to transfer his case with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to Kogi.
EFCC arraigned the former Governor on alleged N82 billion fraud before the Justice Nwite presided court.
However, speaking through his lawyer, Adeola Adedipe, Bello told the court on Thursday that since he was alleged to have committed the offence when he was the Governor of Kogi, it was proper for the case to hold in the State. (The Nation)
