The president had ordered a thorough investigation into the alleged fraud within her ministry, promising to hold accountable anyone found guilty of misconduct.

He added: “The EFCC has not shared whatever they have, but if you consider the president’s action, it suggests that the EFCC may have submitted something that justified the president’s decision.”
