The suspended Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Betta Edu, has said the N30 billion recovered by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, does not belong to her.
On January 8, President Bola Tinubu suspended Edu following allegation of N585.2 million fraud.
Tinubu also directed the EFCC “to conduct a thorough investigation into all aspects of the financial transaction” involving her ministry.
But the anti-graft agency disclosed that N30 billion has been recovered, while over 50 accounts were being investigated.
However, a letter issued on Wednesday by Edu’s lawyer, Chikaosolu Ojukwu, denied knowledge of the money recovered.
