but at least, that doesn’t mean the culprit shouldn’t be brought to book.

Monies that will be looted again!

WizardOfNG:
This is a credit to AIS. Obvious they don't want the prestige and reputation associated with their educational institution tainted publicly with 'dirty' money.

They proactively asked for an authentic account to refund the payment Bello made and EFCC provided it. They have now refunded the full amount immediately.

Commendable.

My thought exactly. Similar experiences were unsuccessful when refund was sought from a popular Church where someone used proceeds of fraud to sow seed and support the Church. The popular pastor who heads the church said the money tilo

Bello is a deadly criminal.

sweetrace has given the perfect response to your comment.

Nothing to Rejoice about the Refund cause it will still be Re-looted by Official Criminals in EFCC.
Who will Probe EFCC of all the recovered Funds during Buhari 8 years in Office.

not exactly. the school on its own initiated the move to refund the money without any prodding from EFCC. they did it out of their volition. even if EFCC will still steal the money, we must not loose sight of the ethics by which the school operates by which nigerians should seek to imbibe especially when we know that many institutions and individuals always find it difficult refunding money they received monies that they didnt deserve to have

Yaya bello a.k.a Peter obi of kogi state.

Yahaya Bello should be taken straight to jail. There should be no trial.

This is insanity of the highest order.

Money that has been relooted... Nothing works here

sweetrace:


The EFCC chairman is doing exactly what he is supposed to do; be transparent. If every single person in government was transparent, Nigeria will be better.

transparent in one and opaque in many right?


Yahaya Bello is being disgraced for daring Lagos Landlord during APC Presidential Primaries in 2022 by refusing to step down for the oracle of Yoruba land. His harassment by the EFCC has nothing to do with whatever money they said he stole.


Tell me Dollar Man Ganduje didn't steal more than 100billion naira as Kano Governor yet same EFCC is shielding him because he is a close friend and political ally of Lagos landlord.


Make una try de get sense for Nigeria, those corrupt politicians and their stooges at EFCC, DSS, etc are only doing you Nigerians abracadabra

kelvindj98:
Nigerian politicians are mad. You can pay $750,000 in advance for your kids to enjoy the best education in the country while the kids in your state receive their education in schools that look like shrines.

That's what happens wherever bigotry reigns. Had Faleke been a Muslim, he'd have continued as gubernatorial candidate in a joint ticket after Abubakar Audu's death. Bello had already left the party and joined the pdp after
losing the primary if you remember.

The same applies to Christian-dominated states . They'd vote based on religous beliefs instead of merit. That's why Nigeria is this backward. I wish Audu didn't die. He was such an amazing man

very true but it shows that school upholds beautiful values which prompted it to volunteer refunding the money without a request from EFCC. this is in contrast with many of us, individuals, banks, companies, businesses and even churches who when money enters their accounts and you justifiably ask for a refund, you go drag till eternity

There is no how Yayaha Bello can beat this charge. He was caught red-handed.

He had better exile himself cuz he is definitely going to prison

Which beautiful values lol. That money is proceeds of crime, plus the request comes from a major government body representing the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Any organization/individual caught receiving such (with evidence) would move fast and return the money if it doesn’t want problem.

Don’t even forget Dollarization Policy - it is illegal to price or denominate the cost of any product or service in dollars. The school is lucky that EFCC has a bigger fish to fry. Them sef no go wan poke mad man.

Wow! School expensive reach that inside Nigeria! All the parents in that school should be questioned! Chai!

…i am certain u really dont need any other convictions that this country was completely finished. The best u can do for your future generations is to hustle hard, travel abroad and earn a life for u and for them. I cannot even imagine that 760k dolls public fund will be used by a Governor to pay for his Children’s tuition fees. Thats over 800 million naira. Which would have been able to do a meaningful project in that state. Can Bello spend even 10 million of his personal money for a child’s school fees? The answer is ‘No’. So, when next they employ your services as a political thug, let your head guide other parts of your body. Be wise. These politicians dont care.

Yet, significant part of the populace do not have access to clean water, no public toilet system, poor hospital services and low quality public schools.

Anyways, every set of people deserve their leader. This I believe.

As if you don't know naija! They will drag this until one judge gets him go....only poor man or rich man that has stepped on toes goes to prison in we country nau

EFCC chairman was right afterwards...
I just hope that he will bold enough to walk his talk. .

All of them are the same thing. They only fighting him because of his presidential ambition and he may come out stronger in 2027 to tackle jagaban who will like to go for second time, but God forbid, 2027 is not for APC by God's grace.

Choi. Yeye Bello.

And he's busy making noise on social media and yabbing people. This offense alone is good enough to send him to jail. Let him go there and cool off.

Money that will still definitely be relooted again if the efcc chairman is really very serious in fighting corruption in nigeria he should go after the people that appointed him who are the grand masters of corruption in nigeria.

I know EFCC is a stewpid agency but on this one, the silly media began to mess the whole thing up. They started setting the stage for commentators that are spinning the case against EFCC. In the space of 48 hrs channels and TVC and Arise changed the narratives to EFCC disregarding court order, even when EFCC did not do that. EFCC had to come out to set the record straight, the EFCC press thing was to refocus the mind of the whole society on the real issue, and it was after EFCC did that we all began to focus on the actual issue Yahaya stole money Nigerian media are so irresponsible and they dont really understand their duty in nation building

The public has to know nothing should be made secret cos he was a public office holder when he was commiting the atrocities so nothing should be made secret but public

760k from one man...
Imagine the ones not heard about...

Not 760 but $845,852.
The school removed the fees already spent and refunded the balance of 760k.
From one man? That amount is pennies to him considering how much he chopped. Abi did you not see the car just 1 of his 4 wives (not to talk about concubines) was driving last year? 20023 mayback, brand new.

He has achieved in a few weeks what non of his predecessors could not achieve in years.

Tell me of a EFCC chair that got as much from a former Governor.

Tell me of a EFCC chair that got anything from any former Governor within a short time of the governor leaving office

Credit should be given where it is due.

Aside the corruption from the shameless man, why are schools like this in Nigeria allowed to charge in dollars? The government is not ready to solve this problem.
