The embattled deputy Governor of Kogi State, Simon Achuba, has taken Governor Yahaya Bello, to court over the non-payment of his allowances.
Achuba took Bello before a National Industrial Court of Nigeria on Monday, according to the News Agency of Nigeria.

The vacation was announced via a circular, dated June 23, and signed by its President Justice Babatunde Adejumo.
