The money laundering trial of two family members of Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, his nephew, Ali Bello and wife, Rashida Bello reportedly at large will resume on Monday before Justice Obiora Egwuatu of the Federal High Court, Abuja.

Ali Bello was among four defendants remanded upon arraignment last week on an 18-count charge bordering on criminal misappropriation and money laundering to the tune of N3,081 billion.

The other defendants are Abba Adauda, Yakubu Siyaka Adabenege and Iyada Sadat.

The defendants pleaded not guilty to the charges preferred against them. In view of their pleas, the prosecuting counsel, Rotimi Oyedepo, SAN, urged the court to give a trial date to enable the prosecution to prove its case.

However, defence counsel, Ahmed Raji SAN, prayed the court to grant his clients bail pending the hearing and determination of the case.

Justice Egwuatu remanded the defendants and adjourned the case till February 13, 2023 for hearing and determination of their bail applications.
