BREAKING: Suspended Minister Betta Edu Arrives At EFCC Headquarters

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

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

She was suspended on Monday by President Bola Tinubu amid accusations of diverting N585 million designated for humanitarian aid to vulnerable groups in Akwa Ibom, Lagos, Cross River, and Ogun states into a private account.

Edu becomes the first minister to face suspension since the swearing-in of members of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) in August last year.

According to the report, President Bola Tinubu’s decision to suspend Edu comes in response to widespread public outrage surrounding the alleged N585 million scandal.

Further details will be provided shortly…
