The suspended Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Betta Edu, has been released from the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Her international passport was also seized to prevent her from leaving the country pending the conclusion of the investigation by the anti-graft agency.
It would be recalled that Edu arrived at the Headquarters of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Abuja on Tuesday around 10am.
The interrogation follows the earlier suspension of the Minister by President Bola Tinubu on Monday, which was announced by presidential spokesperson Ajuri Ngelale.
According to Ngelale, the suspension is in line with President Tinubu’s avowed commitment to upholding the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and accountability in the management of the commonwealth of Nigerians.
