Suspended Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation
Minister, Dr Betta Edu, has arrived at the headquarters of the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for grilling over her involvement in an
alleged N585 million fraud.
Recall that Edu was suspended on Monday by President Bola
Tinubu.
The minister was accused of paying the humanitarian fund
into a private bank account.
The N585 million was meant for payment of grants to
vulnerable groups in Akwa Ibom, Lagos, Cross River and Ogun states.
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.
