In response to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s (EFCC) firm stance regarding the 72-hour ultimatum issued against her, Sadiya Umar-Farouq, a former minister of social development, disaster management, and humanitarian affairs, has appeared for questioning.
The EFCC invited the former minister due to allegations that she had laundered N37, 170,855,753.44 in her ministry while she was employed, allegedly through a contractor named James Okwete.
She has asked for a three-week grace to appear before the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
But the EFCC on Thursday approved only three days for her to attend to her health and appear for interrogation.
To avoid being declared wanted, the Ex-Minister reported at the EFCC’s headquarters a few minutes ago.
“She has complied with our 72-hour ultimatum, her investigation by our team has started,” a top source confirmed.
