American International School of Abuja has agreed to refund part of the advance fees allegedly paid by former Kogi Governor Yahaya Bello.
Chairman of the Economic and Financial Commission, Ola Olukoyede, organized a press conference where he disclosed that Bello withdrew $720,000 from a government account to pay his child’s school fees.
He also claimed that the former governor told the EFCC to come over to his village and interrogate him.
The EFCC Chairman further vowed to resign if he fails to arrest Bello and follow through on the investigation.
EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale said Olukoyede’s revelations did not violate any rule.
A statement by Oyewale said, “There is nothing the chairman said on Tuesday that was not already in the public domain.
“Also, we have filed our processes, and everything is before the court, so the chairman did not say anything that is not already in public domain.
“The chairman himself is a lawyer, and he knows his onions. Everything he said was within his rights as the Chief Executive Officer of the EFCC.”
