Sadiya Umar-Farouk, the former Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management, and Social Development, is expected to be interrogated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) about an alleged N37.1 billion fraud.
A top EFCC source confirmed this to Channels Television in a telephone conversation on Wednesday, January 3.
Umar-Farouk held a ministerial position under former President Muhammadu Buhari from August 2019 to May 29, 2023.
A week later, the former minister received an invitation to appear before interrogators at the EFCC headquarters located at Jabi, Abuja, by 10:00 am.
According to the source, she is yet to honour the invitation, and some other officials who served under her had also been invited to provide more information on how the affairs of the ministry were run in the last four years.
