EFCC Quizzes Former Female Minister Over Fraud In Aisha Buhari’s Project

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission( EFCC) was on Friday quizzing the former Minister of Women Affairs, Mrs Pauline Tallen over alleged fraud. 

A source close to the commission said that the ex-minister who arrived at the Abuja Zonal Command of the Commission on invitation at 12 pm was still being grilled by investigators of the Commission till late Friday night.

Though details of the allegations against the ex-minister were sketchy, a source familiar with the case informed that it bordered on alleged corrupt enrichment to the tune of N2 billion

Part of the money was allegedly diverted from the African First Lady Peace Mission Project.

The spokesman of the Commission, Wilson Uwujaren, could not be reached for confirmation. (NAN)

Meanwhile, besides the news of the EFCC quizzing Tallen, GWG.ng had reported that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Friday in Abuja, seized an opportunity presented at the Presidential Election Petition Court, (PEPC) to explain its reasons for refusing that its own documents be admitted in evidence.

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP,) Mr Peter Obi and his party sought to tender the documents as exhibits to establish their petition against the conduct of the Feb. 25 Presidential Election.

INEC had on Thursday, through its counsel, Mr Kemi Pinhero, SAN, objected to the admission of several documents brought to the PEPC by the petitioners  for the purpose of tendering them as exhibits in support of their petition.
