Yahaya Bello, the former governor of Kogi State, is facing 16 new counts of fraud-related allegations from the Federal Government through the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) that were submitted to an FCT High Court.

The EFCC’s attorneys, Kemi Pinheiro, Rotimi Oyedepo, and seven other attorneys submitted the accusations, which also named Abdulsalam Hudu and one Umar Shuaibu Oricha as defendants.

These followed the former governor’s absence from his trial at the Federal High Court in Abuja over allegations of N80.2 billion worth of fraud.

Daily Trust claims that the anti-graft agency disclosed in the most recent charge sheet that it has discovered purportedly new fraud against the former governor totalling N110,446,470,089.00.

The charge sheet partly read, “That you, YAHAYA ADOZA BELLO, UMAR SHUAIBU ORICHA and ABDULSALAMI HUDU sometimes in 2016 in Abuja, within the jurisdictions of this Honourable Court agreed amongst yourselves to cause to be done an illegal act to wit: criminal breach of trust in respect of the total sum N110,446,470,089.00 entrusted to you.”
