A prosecution witness testifies in the ongoing alleged money laundering case involving former Kogi State governor Yahaya Bello and two others, stating that Bello is not involved in the Abuja property transactions referenced in court. Shehu Bello Bala, the 17th prosecution witness, makes the assertion while being cross-examined by the defendants’ legal team. According to the testimony reported by both outlets, Bala says Bello was not part of any of the property transactions brought before the court, directly responding to questions during the cross-examination. The matter is being heard before a court as part of the EFCC’s money laundering allegations against Bello and his co-defendants. The reports do not provide additional details of the specific properties, the alleged funding source, or the broader evidentiary arguments from other witnesses, focusing instead on this particular exchange during the witness’s testimony. The case remains ongoing as the prosecution and defence continue presenting and challenging evidence.
