When the case was brought for hearing on Friday, EFCC Counsel Kemi Pinheiro, SAN, informed the Federal High Court in Abuja that the Prosecution intended to withdraw an earlier move for an extension of the date originally set for arraignment.
Pinheiro said that events had overtaken the application. Yahaya Bello’s counsel, led by Joseph Daudu, SAN, made no objections, and Justice Emeka Nwite granted the request.
