The suspended Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Betta Edu, has been released from the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Although Edu was released on bail by the anti-graft agency, she was ordered to report to the EFCC daily.
Her international passport was also seized to prevent her from leaving the country pending the conclusion of the investigation by the anti-graft agency.
Edu had arrived at the Headquarters of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Abuja on Tuesday around 10am. She was interrogated by EFCC operatives over the alleged payment of N585.189 million grant meant for vulnerable groups in Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Ogun, and Lagos states, into a private account, and another N44b fraud in her ministry.
