In a series of documents that went viral, the former Kogi State governor was alleged to have paid $720,000 in advance as fees for five of his children from the coffers of the Kogi State Government.
However, in reaction to the development, an Aide to Bello, Ohiare Michael, argued that the school fees payment was not effected at about the time the former governor was to leave office as claimed by the EFCC Chairman, insisting that the former governor did not pay the fees of his children with monies from the coffers of Kogi State government.
