Instead, Bello requested that his trial be transferred to Lokoja, the capital of Kogi State. His counsel, Adeola Adedipe, SAN, informed Justice Emeka Nwite that the former governor had written to the Chief Judge of the Court, Justice John Tsoho, seeking the transfer of his trial to Lokoja, citing territorial jurisdiction as the basis for his request.
