Former Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello has finally agreed to submit himself to the Federal High Court, sitting in Abuja for arraignment on June 13 in the corruption charges filed against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Bello’s lead counsel, Abdulwahab Mohammed gave the undertaking to Justice Emeka Nwite on Friday, shortly after the request for suspension of trial by the defendant was rejected by the Court.
Mohammed said the former governor was not afraid of arraignment but the safety.
The agreement to submit to trial Court was informed by the remarks of Justice Nwite that EFCC as a law-abiding body would not do anything against the provisions of the law.
He advised the senior lawyer to prevail on his client to respect the law and order of Court as a law-abiding person.
