Adedayo Akinwale in Abuja

A coalition of civil society groups led by the Empowerment for Unemployed Youth Initiatives (EUYI) has called on the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) to make public the corruption case against the sacked Minister of Humanitarian and Poverty Reduction Affairs, Dr. Beta Edu.

Edu was suspended over an alleged diversion of more than 585 million naira ($640,000; £500,000) and more public money paid into a personal bank account.

Addressing a press conference yesterday in Abuja, the groups led by the Convener, Coalition of Civil Society Groups, Kennedy Tabuko, and Co-Convener, Empowerment for Unemployed Youth Initiatives (EUYI), Danesi Momoh, decried her public appearances around the presidency, especially with the First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, in recent times.
