Former Kogi state governor, Yahaya Bello, was on Friday night received by jubilant friends and associates as he returned home after meeting the bail terms of his alleged N80 billion fraud suit.
As seen in a now viral video on X, the embattled governor cheered on arrival by his political associates including the incumbent Kogi state governor, Usman Ododo.
NPO reported that the EFCC had arraigned Yahaya Bello before Abuja Federal High Court with 19-count charges bordering on money laundering.
His bail applications were initially rejected which saw him remanded at Kuje Prison.
The court, presided over by Justice Emeka Nwite, would eventually grant him N500 million bail last week Friday with his case adjourned till the 24th of February 2024.
