In a significant development, Betta Edu, the suspended minister for Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, is set to face questioning at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Monday. President Bola Tinubu took the decision to suspend Edu and instructed the EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, to conduct a thorough investigation into all financial transactions involving the ministry and its associated agencies.
Edu’s suspension comes just six months into her tenure, following allegations of funds diversion intended for social development initiatives. Numerous local media outlets have reported on a leaked document allegedly showing Edu instructing the transfer of a substantial sum, exceeding half a billion, to a private account.
Due to this scandal, Betta Edu has been consistently making headlines for all the wrong reasons. Prior to her appointment as minister, Edu had served as the Commissioner for Health in Cross River State and held the position of the APC national women leader.
As the investigation unfolds, the public eagerly awaits the outcome, which will shed light on the alleged financial misconduct within the ministry.
