Documents reveal that former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello is alleged to have made hefty withdrawals from state funds to cover advance school fees for his family members. According to a letter from the American International School of Abuja to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Bello paid $845,852.84 into the school's account since September 2021 for four family members currently enrolled and for any future enrollments.
The school confirmed the payment was made by Bello's alleged eldest son, Ali Bello, and stated that $760,910 remains after deducting fees for services already provided. This balance is set to be refunded to an account specified by the EFCC as their investigation into the allegations of money laundering against Yahaya Bello continues. The school also noted that no additional fees would be required for the Bello family children until their graduation.
These allegations surfaced after EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede disclosed that Bello withdrew $720,000 from state funds to pay his child's school fees in advance. Olukoyede highlighted this during a media session in Abuja, explaining that the former governor made these transactions through a bureau de change operator as his term neared its end, anticipating the end of his time in office.
