American School writes EFCC, to refund N992m of Yahaya Bello’s children fees  

The American International School of Abuja (ASIA) has offered to refund the sum of $760,000 (about N992 million) allegedly paid by the embattled immediate past governor of Kogi state, Yahaya Bello, for his son who is a student of the school.

According to The Cable on Friday, April 26, the school’s latest resolve was conveyed via a letter to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Ola Olukoyede-led EFCC is determined to prosecute Yahaya Bello.

The school admitted that Bello had made the said payment in September 2021 and has now agreed to refund the sum of $760,000 after deducting its educational services rendered to the ex-governor’s son since 2021.

According to the letter, dated October 24, 2022, the school requested that the anti-graft agency forward an official written request, with the genuine banking details of the EFCC, for a refund.

The letter partly reads: “We have calculated the net amount to be transferred and refunded to the State, after deducting the educational services rendered as $760,910.84. (Seven Hundred and Sixty Thousand, Nine Hundred and Ten US Dollars and Eighty Four cents).

“No further additional fees are expected in respect of tuition as the students’ fees have now been settled until they graduate from ASIA.”
