Banker Testifies to Billions in Cash Withdrawals in Yahaya Bello N110.4bn Fraud Trial
ABUJA, Nigeria—A banking official has provided explosive testimony in the ongoing N110.4 billion fraud case against the former Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, detailing massive, repeated cash withdrawals from state accounts during his tenure.
The sixth prosecution witness, Mashelia Arhyel Bata, an officer with Zenith Bank, appeared before the Federal High Court in Abuja to present evidence related to the charges filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
During her cross-examination, Bata highlighted a series of transactions that revealed billions of Naira were withdrawn in cash from various Kogi State government accounts within a two-year period.
The revelation underscores the central allegation in the N110.4 billion suit, which accuses the former governor of money laundering, breach of trust, and misappropriation of public funds during his time in office.
The case continues to attract public scrutiny as the EFCC attempts to trace and recover the large sums allegedly diverted from state coffers.
