The daughter of the late Hon. Justice Moses Abu Bello has petitioned the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, calling for the arrest and prosecution of her stepmother, Mrs. Mary O. Bello and several others over the alleged illegal sale and conversion of her father’s properties, including Jab luxury homes.
