The federal government has lodged a new 16-count charge against Yahaya Bello, the former governor of Kogi State, intensifying the examination of his financial activities.

Daily Report Nigeria reports that the charges, presented to a federal high court in Abuja on Wednesday, revolve around an alleged criminal breach of trust totalling N110,446,470,089.

These allegations contravene sections 96 and 311 of the Penal Code Law Cap.89 Laws of Northern Nigeria, 1963, and are punishable under Section 312 of the same law.

Bello, who is already contending with a separate 19-count charge from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), is set to appear in court alongside two Kogi State government officials, Abdulsalami Hudu and Umar Oricha.
