A Federal Capital Territory High Court, today , rejected the bail application of former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, citing procedural irregularities in the filing of the application.
Justice Maryanne Anenih, while delivering the ruling, stated that the application was premature as it was filed before Bello was present in court or in custody.
The judge said, “Having not been filed when the first defendant was either in custody or before the court, this instant application is incompetent.
“Consequently, the application, having been filed prematurely, is hereby refused.
