Court Asks IGP To Monitor Haliru Bello At Abuja Clinic..

The Inspector General of Police, IGP Solomon Arase, has been asked to supervise the stay of the former National Chairman of the PDP, Haliru Bello, at the Abuja clinics. A Federal High Court gave the directive on Tuesday, pending the determination of Mr Bello’s bail application which has been fixed for January 7, 2016. The order followed the plea by his counsel and evidence in court that the accused person came from the Abuja clinics to take his plea.


The trial judge ordered that his co-accused and son, Bello Mohammed, be remanded in Kuje Prisons pending the determination of his bail application. The former Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) , his son and their company, Bam Ventures, pleaded not guilty to a 4-count charge of money laundering brought against them by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Mr Haliru Bello, who arrived in an ambulance and wheeled into the court room alongside his son were accused of receiving the sum of 300 million Naira from the immediate past National Security Adviser, Colonel Sambo Dasuki, for political campaigns.

The former Minister of Defence was appointed as the Acting Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in May 2015. His nomination was endorsed by the PDP’s BOT at a meeting of the BOT presided over by ex-President Goodluck Jonathan. Channels Television .
