The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has invited Dr Betta Edu, the suspended Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, to its headquarters in the Jabi area of the Federal Capital Territory over the N585m scandal.

The President had urged Dr Betta Edu in a statement released by his spokesperson, Ajuri Ngelale, to grant the EFCC invitation and cooperate with the commission officials while she is being investigated.
