The High Court has fixed November 14 for the response to summon and arraignment of Yahaya Bello, the Governor of Kogi State. The court decision comes after a petition was filed against the governor for alleged misconduct and abuse of office.
The petitioner, who remains anonymous, has accused Governor Yahaya Bello of various offenses including embezzlement of funds, intimidation of political opponents, and disregard for the rule of law. The court has thus ordered Governor Bello to respond to the summon and appear for arraignment on the specified date.
This development has sparked a mix of reactions from the public, with some calling for transparency and accountability in governance, while others have expressed their support for Governor Bello and skepticism over the validity of the petition.
Governor Yahaya Bello has not made any public statements regarding the court decision, but his legal team is reportedly preparing to address the charges in court.
