Yahaya Bello replies EFCC, allegations false

Recall that the controversy began on Tuesday, April 23, 2024, when the EFCC Chairman, Olanipekun Olukoyede, alleged during a media briefing that Bello withdrew funds from the Kogi State Government account to pay his children’s school fees, just before leaving office.

Since the press conference, receipts purportedly showing payments of the said fees have circulated online, prompting a response from Bello’s media office.
