I Personally Invited Yahaya Bello To My Office For Interview, He Said My Operatives Should Come To His Village – Says Olukoyede
The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ola Olukoyede, has revealed that he personally called former Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello to his office in Abuja for an interview over the alleged N80 billion fraud but he (Bello) asked EFCC operatives to come to his village to interview him.
Olukoyede disclosed that Bello sent his Government House cashier to withdraw money from the government account, took it directly to Bureau de Change and sent it to the American International School, Abuja for the payment of his children’s tuition in advance.
It was reported in December 2023 that EFCC seized the $760,910.84 Bello paid to American International School, Abuja, as school fees in advance for his four children until graduation.
Documents had shown that Bello through his nephew, Mr Ali Bello, had entered an agreement with the school to pay tuition for his four children up to graduation in advance to secure their future.
The agreement was signed and executed on August 23, 2021. Following the execution of the agreement, a total of $845.852.84 was paid into the school account in varied instalments.
