EFCC to arraign Yahaya Bello on 19-count money laundering charges today
EFCC to arraign Yahaya – The Economic and Financial…
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) will today arraign former Kogi State governor Alhaji Yahaya Adoza Bello on fresh charges of alleged money laundering.
Scheduled to appear before Justice Emeka Nwite at the Federal High Court in Abuja, Bello faces a 19-count indictment.
The arraignment, originally slated for January 27 next year, was brought forward after Bello presented himself at the EFCC.
“The EFCC has issued a hearing notice to ensure smooth proceedings today,” a source familiar with the case confirmed.
This marks the second time the former governor is being prosecuted by the anti-graft agency. On November 27, Bello was arraigned before the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) on 16 charges of alleged breach of trust, which he denied.
Seeking bail during the earlier trial, Bello stated it was necessary to prepare for his defense. Justice Maryann Anenih, who presided over the prior case, reserved ruling on the bail application until December 10 and remanded Bello and two co-defendants in EFCC custody pending the decision.
The EFCC’s decision to expedite today’s arraignment indicates a strategic move to address the allegations promptly.
Observers are keen to see how Bello will respond to the new charges, with his legal team reportedly gearing up for a robust defence.

Just mention Seyi Tinubu, you’ll go viral

#FeaturedPost
There’s a new shortcut to instant popularity in naija: add Seyi Tinubu’s name onto any wild claim and boom, you’re headline gold – no need for facts, proof, or even a little hint of evidence.
And the biggest cheerleader of this incredibly banal fancy is none other than former Vice President and serial presidential bridesmaid, His Excellency Atiku Abubakar!
This elder statesman, whom you would think ought to have mastered discretion, either on account of the high office he once occupied or his travails from the William Jefferson scandal to the intels affair and the detention and corruption trial of some of his allies and children, obviously has no chill, no filter.
Take the so-called “military parade,” for example, during which Seyi inspected a group of youths in Boy Scouts-like uniforms in Abeokuta. Before you could say, Boy Scout, Atiku, screamed to the world that they were soldiers on a parade, for Seyi. He thought and believed the worst, even at face value, when he just needed to look and he’d see those were only youth volunteers!
Then there was the funny, if not ridiculous, Elizabeth Jack-Rich drama in which scandal-monger Jackson Ude, imitating the former vice president, alleged that Seyi was having an affair with the wife of former presidential aspirant, Tein, only for the family to dismiss it as rubbish. But Jackson and others who aimed to trend on Seyi’s name had cashed out and gotten their trend.
And now, there’s the pièce de résistance: Seyi allegedly masterminding the abduction of a student leader after a ₦100 million bribe was rejected. Again, His Excellency, the former vice president, is leading the Twitterverse battalion to amplify what even the often critical socio-cultural group, Afenifere, has dismissed as “salacious, fallacious, and utterly fabricated.”
At this rate, Seyi Tinubu’s name might as well come with a “trending is guaranteed” stamp. Forget truth or proof. Even forget investigating. Just put Seyi’s name into your story and you enjoy 24 hours of viral fame! Guaranteed.
