I transferred 17 billion to my private account to prevent Bola Tinubu’s Minister, Betta Edu, from looting,” stated the dismissed CEO of NSIPA, Halima Shehu.
The recently dismissed CEO of NSIPA, Halima Shehu, has come forward with bold claims, asserting that her alleged embezzlement of N30 billion was a strategic move to safeguard funds from Bola Tinubu’s Minister Betta Edu, who is supposedly intending to misappropriate them entirely.
According to Shehu, Edu had already misused a staggering 3 billion within a mere month.
The controversy deepens as Shehu, days after her arrest by the EFCC, faces scrutiny.
Ejes Gist News reports that Halima Shehu was accused of diverting a substantial 17 billion into a private account without presidential authorization. She was then suspended by President Bola Tinubu.
However, a fresh scandal emerges with Minister Betta Edu allegedly involved in the misappropriation of an additional 3 billion Naira.
