The Court of Appeal on Tuesday ordered the immediate past governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello to produce himself for arraignment.
The Court also restrained Bello from taking further steps in the charge unless he is arraigned.
The court further set aside the judgment delivered by the Kogi State High Court.
Bello’s whereabouts have been unknown since the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, attempted to arrest him during a raid from his residence in Abuja, a few months ago.
Governor Usman Ododo had scuttled attempts by EFCC’s operatives to arrest Bello from his residence in Abuja.
