The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has confirmed that former Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Betta Edu, remains under investigation.
While the EFCC has submitted a preliminary report on the matter to President Bola Tinubu, the investigation is ongoing.
President Tinubu suspended Edu in January 2024 after public outcry concerning an alleged N585 million scandal within her ministry.
EFCC chairman, Ola Olukoyede, disclosed this while fielding questions from journalists at the headquarters of the commission in Abuja during a press briefing on Thursday, October 31, 2024.
According to Olukoyede, an interim report about the embattled former minister had been submitted to the President in order to take actions.
He added that there are still a gamut of documents to be cross-checked regarding her dealings when she held sway in the ministry.
He further assured Nigerians that the agency would get to the root of the matter.
Olukoyede, who was represented at the briefing by the Director of Public Affairs, Wilson Uwajaren, while reeling out his achievements in the last one year, said many pending cases would be completed in due time.
“I don’t know the outcome. But I believe that we have submitted a (preliminary) report to the president. And I believe that we are still on the matter,” he said.
“The last time I checked, we mentioned the number of bank accounts that we were monitoring. We were looking at about 140 accounts. And we know it takes time to look into and get the required information."
