The scandal, reported by Sahara Reporters, implicates Bello, who has been accused by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) of money laundering. The chats, which have gone viral on social media platforms, depict conversations suggesting plans to influence judicial outcomes in Bello's favor.
Nigerians have taken to social media to express outrage and condemnation over the alleged corruption, with many calling for accountability and justice.
