The American International School Abuja has agreed to refund $760,910.84

The American International School Abuja has agreed to refund $760,910.84 in prepaid tuition fees, following allegations of money laundering involving former Kogi State governor Yahaya Bello.

According to Sahara Reporters, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) reportedly seized the funds from the school, prompting its request for a refund.

Documents reveal that Governor Bello, through his nephew, entered an agreement with the school to prepay tuition for his four children until graduation.

However, the EFCC alleged the funds were proceeds of corruption and demanded repayment.

The school, in response, requested an official written demand from the EFCC, agreeing to refund the specified amount after deducting fees for educational services rendered

Meanwhile, Ali Bello, Governor Bello's nephew, is facing prosecution by the EFCC over a separate N3 billion fraud case. Additionally, Ali Bello has sued the school for breach of contract after the refund was made to the EFCC without his consent.

The EFCC has not provided a court order for the refund.
