The trial is taking place at the Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja, where Bello is facing charges alongside Umar Shuaibu Oricha and Abdulsalami Hudu over alleged money laundering and abuse of public trust.
At the hearing, EFCC lawyers submitted additional bank statements and documents, drawing the court’s attention to financial transactions linked to accounts tied to the defendants and Kogi State government agencies.

Bank officials who testified explained that the records showed large inflows from state revenue and security-related funds, followed by multiple withdrawals and transfers, though the purpose of many transactions could not be determined from the documents alone.
The court adjourned the case to Friday for the continuation of the trial, as the EFCC continues to rely on financial records and witness testimony to press its case against the former governor and others.
