The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court has imprisoned Yahaya Bello, the erstwhile governor of Kogi, at the Kuje correctional facility until his bail application is heard.

Judge Maryann Anenih has postponed the N110 billion money laundering trial involving the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to the following dates: January 29th and 30th, as well as February 25th and 27th.

In an earlier ruling on Tuesday, Justice Maryanne Anenih faulted the competence of Bello’s bail application and held that it was filed prematurely.

Justice Anenih held that the application, having been filed when Bello was neither in custody nor before the court, his  application was incompetent.

She said: “Consequently, the instant application, having been filed prematurely is hereby refused.”

Bello’s bail application was filed  on November 22 before he was arrested on November 26 and arraigned on  November 27.

In two other rulings, Justice Anenih granted bail to each of the two Bello’s co-defendants – Umar Oricha and Abdulsalami Hudu – at N300m with two sureties in like sum.


The judge said the sureties must have property worth the said amount within the court’s jurisdiction.

She then adjourned further proceedings till January 29 next year.

It was learnt that Bello’s lawyers could file a fresh bail application and apply to the court for an early hearing date.

If the request for an early date is granted by the court and the fresh bail application granted, Bello could escape spending the yuletide period in Kuje correctional centre
