Former Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management, and Social Development, Sadiya Umar-Farouk, has arrived at the headquarters of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

The former Minister was invited to meet with interrogators over an ongoing probe into the N37,170,855,753.44 allegedly laundered during her tenure in office, through a contractor, James Okwete.

The former Minister tweeted om her official X account, about her presence at the EFCC headquarters some minutes after 10.

“I have, at my behest, arrived at the headquarters of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to honour the invitation by the anti-graft agency to offer clarifications in respect of some issues that the commission is investigating,” Umar-Farouq tweeted on Monday morning.

The former minister, citing health challenges, had earlier written to the EFCC, seeking an extension of the deadline to meet with EFCC interrogators over the probe.
