The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission is probing 50 bank accounts as it recovered N30bn in the alleged scandals in the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation.
"“Is it in Nigeria where there is no adequate database? Who are the people they were giving these monies to? So I saw it as a means of embezzlement. I raised this concern right from the beginning."
This latest development followed a detailed investigation report on the ministry and recommendations presented by the ICPC to the EFCC.
"The National Social Investment Programme was established in 2016 as a social safety net to care for the poor and needy."
