Betta Edu: Tinubu summons Interior Minister, Tunji-Ojo over link to alleged fraud

More revelations are unfolding as another cabinet member of President Bola Tinubu has been indicted in the corruption saga surrounding the suspended Minister for Humanitarian and Poverty Alleviation, Dr. Betta Edu.

Media was awashed on Monday after the suspension of Dr. Betta Edu, over alleged N585m scam.

However, President Tinubu reportedly summoned the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, to the Presidential Villa on Tuesday.

This is coming in the wake of his link in the ongoing investigation of Dr. Edu by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
