The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), on Thursday, quizzed the immediate-past minister for women affairs, Uju Kennedy Ohanenye, over her alleged roles in misappropriation, violation of procurement process and diversion of public funds to the tune of N138,413,253.89 in the course of disbursing the 2023 budgeted funds for the ministry.
EFCC sources, who spoke to LEADERSHIP, said the former minister arrived the anti-graft commission headquarters around 11:00am on Thursday and faced interrogators on her alleged involvement in the fraud.
The sources said investigations by the EFCC showed that funds donated for the funding of P-BAT Cares for Women Initiative were allegedly diverted for her self enrichment.
As at press time Thursday evening, interrogation was still ongoing as she had not been admitted to administrative bail.
