According to Punch, sources familiar with the matter confirmed that Mrs Pauline Tallen is being interrogated by EFCC operatives at their zonal headquarters in Wuse, Abuja.
While specific details of the allegations against the former minister remain unclear, a source said Tallen was being questioned for allegedly misappropriating N2 billion from the African First Lady Peace Mission Project (AFLPM).
The source said, “The ex-minister arrived at our Abuja Zonal Command (not the headquarters), on invitation, at about 12pm, but she is still being grilled by investigators of the commission as at 8:30pm.
“She’s being investigated for alleged misappropriation of funds and corrupt enrichment to the tune of N2bn, and part of the money was allegedly diverted from the African First Lady Peace Mission Project.”
Efforts to reach the spokesperson for the EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, were unsuccessful at the time of publication.
KanyiDaily recalls that Pauline Tallen had lambasted male lawmakers who voted against gender bills seeking to amend the constitution to include women in the leadership and governance of the country.
