A Compliance Officer with the United Bank for Africa (UBA), Mrs. Abimbola Williams, has testified in court that former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, was not listed in any documents related to the Government House Bank account.
Testifying in a money laundering case brought by the EFCC, Williams confirmed that Bello’s name did not appear in the account opening records or any withdrawals made from the UBA account (No. 1003889575), which was used for Government House operations during his tenure.
The EFCC prosecution had subpoenaed bank records and account statements for the case. The witness read out a series of cheque withdrawals but stated that none were linked directly to the former governor.
