The Federal High Court in Abuja has denied former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello's request to release his international passport for travel to the UK for medical treatment.
At the hearing on Monday, Justice Emeka Nwite ruled that the medical report (Exhibit B) submitted by Bello was not signed by its maker, therefore, it lacked legal efficacy, and the former governor failed to provide sufficient material for the passport to be released.
Bello is facing trial for alleged money laundering brought by the EFCC, and the case has been adjourned to October 7, 10, November 10, and 11 for continuation of trial.
