EFCC Chairman Ola Olukayode has stirred controversy by disclosing that the embattled former governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, allegedly withdrew a staggering $720,000 from the government’s coffers.

This hefty sum was reportedly funneled through a Bureau de Change to pay for his child’s school fees in advance. The chairman’s statement carries a tone of deep concern, highlighting the pressing need for the rule of law to prevail, particularly in light of Kogi’s precarious financial situation as a relatively poor state.
