President Bola Tinubu has ordered probation of the alleged payment of public funds worth N585,189,500 into a private account of one Oniyelu Mojisola by the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Dr Betta Edu.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris.
The statement came in response to the widespread information circulating on the Internet, claiming that the Humanitarian Ministry had diverted funds meant for the welfare of vulnerable Nigerians into a personal account of a staff member.
Idris said that the Government was determined to unravel the truth and take appropriate action to ensure that any breaches and infractions were identified and decisively punished, in line with the administration’s commitment to public accountability and due process.
He urged Nigerians to exercise patience as the investigation unfolds, and assured that the Government was focused on ensuring a fair and unbiased process, and that the findings would be communicated duly and transparently to the public.
