Human rights lawyer, FEMI FALANA, says the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, BETTA EDU, should resign for betraying the confidence reposed in her.

FALANA, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, in a statement, urged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to speed up the ongoing investigation of the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and charge all indicted persons to court.

The senior lawyer described the circumstances surrounding EDU’s alleged involvement in the approval of 585.198 million naira to be disbursed into a personal account as an “extremely embarrassing drama”.

FALANA also said the minister should stop insulting Nigerians, adding that she failed to deny that she gave approval for the funds to be paid to a private account instead of direct transfer to the beneficiaries’ accounts from the ministry.
