An official of the American International School, Abuja Wednesday told the Federal High Court in Abuja that the former Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, paid a total of $1,606,763.68 in tuition fees for his children, including an advance payment of $845,852 for his children to be enrolled in the school in the future.
Nicholas Ojehomon, an auditor at the school, stated this while testifying as a prosecution witness for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
He said the payments covered Bello’s children’s tuition until graduation.
Bello is facing trial for alleged N80.2bn fraud.
At a previous hearing on January 29, Williams Abimbola, a compliance officer with United Bank for Africa Plc, had testified under subpoena and tendered documents showing transactions related to the school fees.
