New information has emerged regarding the suspension of Dr. Edu Betta, the embattled Minister of Humanitarian Affairs Disaster Management.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu suspended her to allow for an investigation into alleged misappropriation of funds belonging to the National Social Investment Programme Agency (NSIPA).
According to exclusive details obtained by Podium Reporters, when Betta Edu learned of her impending suspension, she hurriedly went to the Aso Rock villa with her convoy in an attempt to see the President without a prior appointment.
However, she was only allowed into the President’s waiting room, where she watched on TV as news channels announced her suspension.
Realizing that she would not be granted an audience with the President, Dr. Edu Betta eventually left the waiting room, only to discover that her entire security team and accompanying vehicles had been recalled to their respective commands following her suspension.
The embattled Minister’s Villa Access Tag was also confiscated by the DSS.Fortunately, one of the President’s key aides offered to provide Dr. Betta Edu with transportation out of the villa using his own vehicle.
