On Tuesday, August 20, the Court of Appeal ordered Yahaya Bello, the immediate past governor of Kogi State, to present himself for arraignment.
The court also barred Bello from taking further action in the case until he appears for arraignment.
Additionally, the court overturned the previous judgment by the Kogi State High Court.
Bello has been missing since the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) attempted to arrest him during a raid at his Abuja residence several months ago. Efforts by EFCC operatives to arrest him were thwarted by Governor Usman Ododo.
The EFCC is prosecuting Bello for allegedly misappropriating over N80 billion during his eight years as governor.
