The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has announced that the American International School Abuja (AISA) has reimbursed the fees previously paid by Yahaya Bello, the former governor of Kogi state, for his children's attendance at the school.

Previously, it was reported that EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede disclosed during a press briefing in Abuja on April 23 that the ex-governor had paid $760,910 upfront for the schooling of five of his children, using Kogi state government funds. In light of this, the school issued a statement committing to refund the fees to the EFCC.

In response to a letter from the EFCC Lagos zonal commander, AISA stated that $845,852 had been paid in tuition "from the 7th of September 2021 to date."

AISA clarified that it would refund $760,910, deducting the cost of educational services already provided.
