Betta Edu arrives EFCC office

She was summoned by the EFCC in connection to an alleged N585 million fraud within her ministry.

The suspended Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Betta Edu, has arrived at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Headquarters.

Edu was summoned by the EFCC in connection to an alleged N585 million fraud within her ministry.

President Bola Tinubu suspended her on Monday amid accusations of diverting the humanitarian fund, intended for grants to vulnerable groups in Akwa Ibom, Lagos, Cross River, and Ogun states, into a private account.

Edu is the first minister to be suspended from office since members of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) were sworn in in August last year.
