N37.1bn Fraud: How Buhari’s Minister Shuns EFCC Invitation 

Buhari and Umar Farouq

with every sense of responsibility and would defend my actions, stewardship and programmes during my tenure whenever I am called upon to do so.”

 

The spokesperson for the EFCC, Dele Oyewale, declined comments.

 

“I’m not around at the moment, and I can’t speak on that, please,” Oyewale said.

 

Sunday PUNCH reported that the EFCC arrested Okwete in connection with the ongoing probe into the N37.1bn allegedly laundered by the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management, and Social Development under the former minister, Umar-Farouq.

 

A top EFCC official, who confided in our correspondent on Sunday, said the contractor had made useful statements concerning Umar-Farouq and former director-generals of the ministry.

 

The development coincides with the probe of three other ministers, who served under former President Muhammadu Buhari, for graft estimated at N150bn.

 

“It is not only Umar-Farouq we are investigating. Three other former ministers are also under probe. They were allegedly involved in graft to the tune of N150bn,’’ a credible source in the EFCC had confided in our correspondent.

 

Umar-Farouq was the pioneer Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development.

 

She was appointed by former President Muhammadu Buhari in July 2019.
