EFCC invites suspended Minister, Betta Edu over N585m scandal
This request occurred less than an hour after President Bola Tinubu announced Edu’s suspension.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) summoned Betta Edu, the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, to its Jabi, Abuja headquarters following an alleged N585 million scandal.
This request occurred less than an hour after President Bola Tinubu announced Edu’s suspension.
An authoritative source from the EFCC revealed that Chairman Ola Olukoyede had earlier recommended the Minister’s suspension to facilitate a thorough investigation.
The agency promptly acted upon the President’s directive to investigate the alleged diversion of N585.189 million grant intended for vulnerable groups in Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Ogun, and Lagos states into a private account.
The suspended Minister has been formally invited to appear at the EFCC headquarters.
