Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC says it has so far, recovered N30 billion for the Federal Government, while it has also placed 50 bank accounts under investigation in the ongoing probe of the suspended Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Betta Edu.
The Executive Chairman of EFCC, Ola Olukoyede Olukoyede in the March edition of the commission’s monthly e-magazine, EFCCAlert, released yesterday said the bank accounts include those of the erstwhile Chief Executive Officer of the now suspended National Social Investment Programme Authority NSIPA, Halima Shehu.
Both Edu and Shehu were suspended about three months ago by President Bola Tinubu over alleged financial malfeasance.
The President also suspended Social Investment Programme and, thereafter, asked the EFCC to take over the case and probe both embattled officials, and any other person involved.
The magazine quoted the EFCC boss as saying that they have laws and regulations guiding investigations while Nigerians will also know that they are already on suspension and this is based on the investigations they have done, and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has proved to Nigerians that he is ready to fight corruption.
