President Bola Tinubu on Monday, January 8, suspended Betta Edu, the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, over an alleged N585m scandal within the ministry.
The suspended minister was seen in a video posted on TVC’s official X page leaving the Villa after she was unable to see President Tinubu hours after her suspension.
Edu’s scandal started when she signed a document requesting funds to be transferred to Oniyelu Bridget Mojisola’s personal account. The document was sent to the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation.
