The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has frozen the bank accounts of the suspended Minister for Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Betta Edu.
The EFCC’s action is to ensure the integrity of the ongoing investigations over the N585m funds diversion scandal involving Edu.
All of Edu’s personal bank accounts have been frozen to prevent her from making any transactions or accessing her funds. She is currently unable to withdraw, deposit, or operate her accounts in any bank.
