EFCC grills ex-women affairs minister, Tallen, over N2bn fraud

The immediate former Minister for Women Affairs and Social Development, Pauline Tallen, is currently in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, over allegations of money laundering.

Sources privy to the development confirmed to our correspondent that Tallen was quizzed by operatives of the EFCC at its Zonal Headquarters, in Wuse, Abuja.

Though details of the allegations against the ex-minister were sketchy, a source familiar with the case told The PUNCH that it bordered on corrupt enrichment to the tune of N2billion.

“The ex-mnister arrived at our Abuja Zonal Command (not the headquarters), on invitation, at about 12 pm, but she’s still being grilled by investigators of the commission as at 8:30 pm.

“She’s being investigated for alleged 
misappropriation of funds and corrupt enrichment to the tune of N2billion, and part of the money was allegedly diverted from the African First Lady Peace Mission Project.”

Spokesperson for the commission, Wilson Uwujaren, could not be reached as of press time.
