The Embattled Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Betta Edu is currently facing serious questioning at the EFCC Headquarters Abuja as gathered by 9News Nigeria.
The predicament of the 37-year-old was worsened when the Accountant General of the Federation, Oluwatoyin Madein, confirmed that although her office received a request from the humanitarian ministry to make certain payments, her office did not act on it.
After being implicated in a N585 million payment scam involving her ministry, Edu came under heavy fire from activists and rights organizations.
Meanwhile, the operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) investigating the alleged N585 million disbursement began questioning the suspended Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Betta Edu on Tuesday, January 9 as she arrived at the headquarters of the EFCC in Jabi, Abuja, at about 11am.
The troubled minister arrived with her attorneys and assistants and she is currently facing EFCC investigators.
Note that the Embattled Minister showed up at the EFCC headquarters just a day after President Bola Tinubu suspended her.
