The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has arrested and detained Halima Shehu, the suspended National Coordinator and CEO of NSIPA, following President Bola Tinubu’s approval of her suspension.
The arrest was prompted by suspicions surrounding the transfer of N17 billion from NSIPA’s account to various accounts within a week.
Allegations against Shehu include unauthorised approval of agency payments amounting to billions of naira without the necessary presidential consent.
EFCC operatives apprehended her in both her private office and residence around 8pm on Tuesday.
