The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has recovered N30 billion in the ongoing investigation of suspended Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Betta Edu and former Chief Executive Officer of the National Social Investment Programme Authority, NSIPA, Halima Shehu.
The anti-graft agency also disclosed that it has placed 50 bank accounts under investigation in the ongoing investigation. President Bola Tinubu had suspended Edu and Shehu about three months ago for alleged financial misappropriation. The president also suspended Social Investment Programme while directing the EFCC to take over the case and probe both embattled officials.
“Moreover, with respect to this particular case, we have recovered over N30 billion, which is already in the coffers of the Federal Government. It takes time to conclude investigations; we started this matter less than six weeks ago. 'There are cases that take years to investigate. There are so many angles to it. And we need to follow through with some of the discoveries that we have seen.
