The American International school in Federal Capital
Territory has provided additional information and context to clarify the issues
around its decision to send fees paid by former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello to the Economic and Financial
Crime Commission ( EFCC).
Contrary to some media reports suggesting that the
institution was still in the process of turning over the funds, the statement
clarified that it had actually done by the EFCC Chairman.
In a statement signed by Head of school, Greg Heghes, the international co-educational institution which was
established in 1993 stated that “our compliance
to remit these funds underscores our commitment to upholding institutional
integrity and our respect for the National Institution of Nigeria “
“Its explained further, ” Upon learning that the school fees we accepted in good faith were infact , part of an on-going case with the EFCC, we turned over these funds in compliance with this Fedrral Comission request.
The statement did not name Bello directly but the reference
to a Family with children enrolled at
the school” was clear enough in the light of the recent media rapid.
Citing the sub justice status of the issue as a result of
the ongoing case between the EFCC and Bello, the school averted that ” we will
refrain from making any further comment at this time.
