Federal High Court, Maitama, Abuja, has remanded Ali Bello, a nephew of Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, and one Dauda Sulaiman in prison pending the fulfilment of their bail conditions.

They were arraigned before Justice James Kolawole Omotosho, alongside one Abdulsalami Hudu, Cashier of Kogi State House Administration (now at large) on a 10-count charge of misappropriation and money laundering.

This was disclosed in a statement signed Thursday by the spokesperson of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC), Wilson Uwujaren.

Quest Times gathered Bello and Sulaiman are accused of fraudulently withdrawing a sum of N10,270,556,800 from the Kogi State treasury, which they reportedly delivered to a Bureau de Change operator, Rabiu Tafada, in Abuja to keep or change to foreign currencies for personal gains.
