Nigerian Minister of Poverty, Betta Edu, Faces Suspension for Presence of Personal Money in Bank Account

Nigeria's president has taken action against a minister accused of diverting a significant sum of public funds into her personal bank account. Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation Minister Betta Edu has been suspended due to the public outcry surrounding the scandal. President Bola Tinubu has ordered a comprehensive investigation into Edu's ministry to uncover the truth. While Dr Edu denies any wrongdoing, her office claims that she authorized the transfer to a non-personal account for the purpose of supporting disadvantaged groups through grants. More updates on this matter are expected soon.
