After facing a 12-hour marathon interrogation by anti-graft operatives, ex-minister Sadiya Umar-Farouq returned home last night and is expected to resume today at the headquarters of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Abuja.
The former Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Social Development is facing probe over an alleged laundering of N37.1 billion, reports Channels TV.
She had arrived at the Jabi Headquarters of the EFCC about 10:18 am yesterday to honour the invitation to offer clarifications on some issues that the Commission is investigating.
The former minister had a long session with the EFCC interrogators yesterday. The session ended about 10.30 pm after which she was allowed to return home.
Sadiya is expected to return today for further clarifications on sundry issues that the Commission flagged in the course of its preliminary investigations.
Meanwhile, Sadiya’s successor, Betta Edu, is also expected at the EFCC office today over a messy disbursement scandal being probed by the anti-graft agency.
