Daudu (SAN), had hinged his application for the release of the travel documents arguments for on 13 legal grounds.<\/p>\n<p>He stated that the court had, in a ruling delivered in December 2024, stated that the defendant could approach the court with a formal application should he wish to travel.<\/p>\n<p>He emphasised that the ruling neither expressly prohibited foreign travel nor imposed any specific conditions for it.<\/p>\n<p>Daudu also referred to a Certified True Copy of the court\u2019s earlier bail ruling\u2014admitted as Exhibit C\u2014and argued that the current application aligned with the court\u2019s established position.<\/p>\n<p>He maintained that Bello had consistently attended court proceedings, posed no flight risk, and had duly informed his sureties of his intention to travel.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission opposed the application through a 45-paragraph counter-affidavit.<\/p>\n<p>The Commission described the application as an abuse of court process, noting that Bello had filed a similar request before the Federal High Court, which is yet to be ruled upon.<\/p>\n<p>The EFCC contended that seeking the same relief in two separate courts simultaneously risks conflicting decisions and undermines judicial integrity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe passport sought to be released is not before this court,\u201d the prosecution stated.<\/p>\n<p>They further argued that the Federal High Court\u2019s order preceded the current matter and urged the FCT High Court not to issue any directive concerning a document it does not possess.<\/p>\n<p>Bello and two others are currently being prosecuted for the alleged misappropriation of Kogi State funds amounting to N110.4 billion during his tenure as governor.<\/p>\n<p>He is also standing trial in a similar case before Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court in Abuja over alleged fraud amounting to N80.2 billion.<\/p>\n<p>At the resumed hearing of the suit instituted by the EFCC, Justice Maryanne Anenih held that the court would have considered the application for the release of the defendant\u2019s travel document if it were in its custody.<\/p>\n<p>The court noted that, however, the passport is in the custody of the Federal High Court in Abuja.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Anenih explained that even if the request were granted, it would be ineffective since the passport is not held by the FCT High Court but by the Federal High Court before Justice Nwite.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA review of the court\u2019s record revealed that the applicant had previously been ordered to deposit his international passport and other travel documents with the court\u2019s registry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, upon further enquiry and search conducted by the court, it was discovered that the said international passport is not presently in the custody of the court\u2019s registry but with the Federal High Court,\u201d Justice Anenih said.<\/p>\n<p>She added, \u201cThe defendant even deposed to an affidavit stating that his passport had been deposited with the Federal High Court following a bail granted to him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe simple logic is that the passport cannot be in the custody of two different courts at the same time. Since the defendant has admitted depositing it with the Federal High Court, there is no reason for this court to make any order in that regard.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCourts do not make orders in vain. Therefore, this court will not make an order that would have no effect, as the passport in question is not with this court but with the Federal High Court.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bello had also acknowledged in his application that the travel documents were with the Federal High Court.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Daudu had earlier confirmed that the international passport being requested was not in the FCT High Court\u2019s custody.<\/p>\n<p>Following the ruling, Justice Anenih adjourned the case to 8, 9 October, and 13 November 2025 for the continuation of the hearing<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Federal Capital Territory High Court disclosed that it is not in possession of the international passport of the immediate past Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello.
