The public summons was issued by Justice Maryanne Anenih following a request from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The court mandated the EFCC to widely disseminate the summons through prominent newspapers and to post copies at Bello’s last known residence and within the court’s premises.

 

The EFCC has stated that attempts to serve Bello with the charges, which were filed on September 24, have been unsuccessful.

 

The charges include allegations of a criminal breach of trust involving a significant sum of N110.4 billion.

 

The other defendants in this case are Umar Oricha and Abdulsalami Hudu. Bello’s absence during a previously scheduled arraignment contributed to delays in the proceedings.
