Nigeria’s Poverty Minister Suspended Over Money in Personal Account

Nigeria’s president has suspended a minister over the alleged diversion of more than 585 million naira ($640,000; £500,000) of public money into a personal bank account.

Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation Minister Betta Edu was suspended on Monday following public outrage over the scandal.

A statement from President Bola Tinubu’s office said he had ordered an investigation into Dr Edu’s ministry.
Dr Edu has denied any wrongdoing.

Her office said she had approved the transfer into a personal account, which was not in her name, but said it was for the “implementation of grants to vulnerable groups”.
