N585m Scandal: EFCC Gives Update On Suspended Minister, Betta Edu
The embattled Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Dr. Betta Edu, who was suspended from office by President Bola Tinubu is yet to be summoned and questioned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission as recently reported.
This comes amid claims by some media platforms that the recently suspended Humanitarian Affairs Minister, Dr Betta Edu has already landed at the EFCC Headquarters in Abuja for interrogation.
Although she has been suspended by the FG, the EFCC is yet to invite her for probe as directed by the Presidency over the alleged N585 million scandal.
According to the Vanguard, the EFCC is still in the process of inviting Edu to answer questions on the alleged scam.
“We are in the process of inviting the suspended minister to answer questions on the cash. It is not true that she is already in our custody,” the Vanguard quoted a competent EFCC source on Monday.
