Sadiya Umar-Farouq, on Wednesday, shunned an invitation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission probing the N37.1bn allegedly laundered during her tenure in office through a contractor, James Okwete.
Sadiya, is the former Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management, and Social Development under the former president Buhari.
The former minister kept the Financial interrogators waiting for several hours on Wednesday without an official communication to the commission.
Sadiya was asked to appear before investigators at the EFCC headquarters, Jabi, Abuja on Wednesday, January 3, 2024, at about 10:00 am.
The purpose of the invitation according to the EFCC is to give an account of the alleged fraud that took place under her ministry.
