Former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello has been released from Kuje Custodial Centre after meeting the bail conditions set by the Federal Capital Territory High Court in Maitama, Abuja.
Bello was granted bail on Thursday in the sum of N500 million by Justice MaryAnne Anenih before whom he is being prosecuted for an alleged N110 billion fraud.
Justice Anenih had earlier on December 10 refused to grant the bail application filed by Bello as she ruled that it was premature and incompetent as he filed it when he had not yet surrendered himself to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC.)
