Justice Maryann of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has denied bail to former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello.

The judge ruled that the bail application was filed prematurely, as Bello had not yet been taken into custody by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) at the time of filing.

The application was submitted on 22 November, while the EFCC arrested Bello on 26 November and arraigned him the following day.
