The former governor and his successor were seen dancing to a song chorused by a group of men.

As reported by TheCable, in a video shared via its X handle (formerly known as Twitter) @thecableng, they sang in the Ebira dialect.

“God, we thank you for what you have done for us,”

TheTalk.NG recalls that Bello regained his freedom after meeting his bail conditions.

Bello was released from the Kuje Custodial Centre in Abuja on Friday evening, December 20, 2024.

The spokesperson for the Nigerian Correctional Service, FCT Command, Adamu Duza, confirmed Bello’s release from prison.

A lot of Nigerians deserve to suffer! This man called yahaya belloo should be ostracized in a sane society!

@Guided_Khalifah

I only pity small thieves in Nigeria. If you wanna steal, make it big and unimaginable. The bigger your theft, the more respect you attract. When they see you and hear the amount of money you stole, you command fear and respect instantly. Again, I pity small thieves.

Dino Melaye ‘sings new song’ as Court remands Bello

Meanwhile, TheTalk.NG reported that the FCT High Court ordered the remand of Bello in Kuje Correctional Centre over alleged N110 billion fraud.

Senator Dino Melaye expressed satisfaction with the court’s decision, claiming he had predicted Bello’s imprisonment six years ago.

The N110 billion money laundering case could set a significant precedent, with legal analysts closely watching the proceedings scheduled for January and February 2025.
