Former Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management, and Social Development, Sadiya Umar-Farouq, on Wednesday, dared the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), by shining its invitation over the probe of ₦37.1 billion allegedly laundered during her tenure in office through a contractor, James Okwete.
Umar-Farouq was reported to have kept the interrogators waiting for over eight hours without an official communication to the commission on why she failed to honour the invitation.
According to a source, the interrogation team had to close from work at about 6pm when they were certain that the former minister was not going to show up.
“We just closed from work now because she didn’t show up today, and it’s 6pm already. It’s certain that she’s never going to show up today,” the source said.
