Buhari’s ex-humanitarian affairs minister, Sadiya Umar Farouq arrives EFCC office

Sadiya Umar Farouq, the former Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, has arrived at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) headquarters.

Using her X account, Farouq announced her arrival in the anti-graft agency.

The minister is accused of laundering more than N37,170,855,753.44 while working for the former president Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.

James Okwete, a contractor, was alleged to have been involved in the money laundering.

Investigating the claim, the EFCC had asked the former minister to provide more details.

However, the former minister’s health issues prevented her from accepting the invitation at first.

However, she wrote: “I have, at my behest, arrived at the headquarters of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to honour the invitation by the anti-graft agency to offer clarifications in respect of some issues that the commission is investigating.”
