The Court of Appeal has overturned a previous judgment by the Kogi State High Court, directing former Governor Yahaya Bello to present himself for arraignment. The appellate court has prohibited Bello from taking any further actions related to the charge until he is formally arraigned.
This development indicates that the Court of Appeal has set aside the earlier ruling, which may have stalled or hindered the arraignment process. By ordering Bello to appear for arraignment, the court is ensuring that the former governor faces the charges against him in a lawful and timely manner.
The details of the charges against Bello were not specified in the report, but this latest development suggests that the legal proceedings against him will now move forward. The Court of Appeal’s decision underscores the importance of adhering to legal processes and ensures that individuals, regardless of their status, are held accountable for their actions.
