On Monday, March 11th 2024, beneficiaries of Npower blast the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the presidency over their long silence regarding the alleged fraud case against the suspended minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Betta Edu.

According to Npower News, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) spokesman, Dele Oyewale, told the press that Betta Edu was granted bail, but did not disclose the conditions of Betta Edu's release. A reliable source reported on Monday, that both the the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Presidency had not given beneficiaries of Npower any update on the case, two months after Betta Edu’s suspension. 


According to Npower News, in another publication, it was confirmed a scheme to link the chief of staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, to the ongoing scandal involving the suspended minister of humanitarian affairs, Dr Betta Edu. More leaked memos surfaced online from the humanitarian affairs and poverty alleviation ministry and its affiliated agencies after the suspension of Betta Edu, who is currently under investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). 


A leaked memo dated December 18, 2023, from the president's chief of staff's office revealed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu had authorised the utilisation of ₦3,000,000,000 from the COVID-19 Palliative Fund to verify the National Social Register.
