Bello creates scene, Judge leave angrily

Yahaya Bello, Fmr. Governor of Kogi state

Former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello, who was scheduled to be arraigned at the FCT High Court on Wednesday, took charge of crowd control in the courtroom after Justice Maryann Anenih left in frustration.

Justice Anenih, who was set to take the plea of the former governor and two others, abruptly rose and announced she would not return until order was restored in the courtroom.

Shortly after the judge’s departure, Yahaya Bello, who had been seated at the front, stood up and moved towards the crowd. He immediately instructed his followers and sympathizers to vacate their seats and leave the courtroom.

His actions helped to calm the situation, as his followers exited the courtroom one by one without resistance. To maintain order, the former governor positioned himself at the entrance of the courtroom, ensuring that none of his followers disobeyed the court’s directive.
