Betta Edu

BETTA Edu, the suspended Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, and the ministry are the targets of an alleged money laundering investigation that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) claims to have recovered N30 billion from.

News reporters on Monday were sent with a bulletin named “EFCC Alert,” which revealed this information. The report states that the N30 billion that was recovered is currently in the Federal Government's coffers and that the agency is also looking into at least 50 bank accounts.

According to the document: “Update on Betta Edu investigation. We have laws and regulations guiding our investigations. Nigerians will also know that they are already on suspension, and this is based on the investigations we have done, and President Bola Tinubu has proved to Nigerians that he is ready to fight corruption. Moreover, concerning 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. Some cases 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. Nigerians should give us time on this matter; we have professionals on this case, and they need to do things right. There are so many leads here and there.”
