Sources from within the anti-graft agency said, investigation of the the embattled National Coordinator of the Nigeria Social Investment Programme, NSIP was steadily progressing since her arrest and detention.

CAPITAL POST recalled that she was fired by President Bola Tinubu and replaced immediately following the missing N44 billion from government account.
The fund which was meant for grants for the poor Nigerians was being a subject of controversy between her and the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Dr. Betta Edu.

On Monday, President Tinubu suspended Betta Edu from office over a transfer of N585.2 million from government account to a private account against advice by the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation.
