Yahaya Bello Paid Abuja American School $800k From 80 Billion Naira Fraud


Yahaya Bello allegedly paid $720,000 in advance as fees for five of his children from the coffers of the Kogi state government.


The children are in grade level 2 to 8 at the school. On April 17, EFCC operatives laid siege to Bello’s residence in Abuja in an attempt to arrest him over an alleged N80.2 billion fraud.


The school said it will draw the attention of the anti-graft agency if there are any further deposits by the Bello family.


In a statement signed by Greg Hughes, AISA also said “Ali Bello contacted the school on Friday 13 August 2021 requesting to pay the family school fees in advance until the students graduate from High School”.


The EFCC has since declared Bello wanted, with the NIS placing the ex-governor on a watchlist.
