BREAKING: EX-HUMANITARIAN AFFAIRS MINISTER EVENTUALLY ARRIVES EFCC OFFICE OVER ALLEGED N37BN FRAUD
Read Time:1 Minute, 25 Second
Sadiya Umar Farouq, the former Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management, and Social Development, has arrived at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) headquarters to provide information about her stewardship.
In response to the anti-graft agency’s invitation, Mrs. Umar-Farouq showed up at the EFCC headquarters to provide clarification on a few matters the Commission is looking into.
Remember that the anti-graft agency invited the former minister, who worked under President Muhammadu Buhari, last week after opening an investigation into her ministry-related actions.
Several other officials who collaborated with her had also been asked on different days to offer an overview of the management of the ministry’s operations over the previous six years.
The anti-graft agency had invited the former minister to speak about the purported N37.1 billion laundering that took place during her time, but she had earlier failed to honor the invitation.
On the other hand, she apologized in writing to the Commission for failing to honor their invitation.
The former minister wrote to the anti-graft agency to clarify that she is not currently disposed to appear before the commission, according to a statement made by EFCC spokesman Dele Oyewale to Channels Television.
But the troubled former minister claimed in a post published on X on Monday morning that she had just arrived at the commission’s headquarters to provide clarifications.
“I have, at my behest, arrived at the headquarters of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to honor the invitation by the anti-graft agency to offer clarifications in respect of some issues that the commission is investigating,” she wrote.
However, she denied any complicity in the alleged crime via her previous post on X.
