Justice Ahmed Mohammed of a Federal High Court in Abuja has arrived for the arraignment of a former Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Haliru Bello, and his son, Abbah Mohammed, on four counts of money laundering involving about N300m which they allegedly collected from the office of the National Security Adviser.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission had charged Bello, who is also a former Minister of Defence, and his son, along with their firm, Bam Properties.
Bello’s lawyer, Mr. Abdulaziz Ibrahim urged the judge to allow his client to remain on his wheel chair in the dock during the proceedings. The judge acceded to the request but Bello’s son has taken position in the dock.
