Dr Betta Edu, the suspended Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, has arrived at the Abuja office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
She is expected to be questioned over alleged N585 million fraud in her ministry.
The Minister, who was suspended on Monday by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, was accused of paying the humanitarian fund into a private account.
The N585 million was meant for payment of grants to vulnerable groups in Akwa Ibom, Lagos, Cross River and Ogun states.
So far, Edu is the first minister to be suspended from office since members of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) were sworn in last year in August.
