Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Abdulrasheed Bawa, has expressed that the minister who he had earlier said bought $37.5 million property from a bank and deposited $20 million cash is not a serving minister.
He stated that he was referring to a former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, who is currently at large.
Recall that on Tuesday during an interview, Bawa had narrated how the commission investigated a female minister, who he said, connived with the managing director of a bank to purchase a property worth $37 million.
