EFCC releases former speaker, Patricia Etteh
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has released on bail, the former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mrs Patricia Olubunmi Etteh.
She was set free on Friday after satisfying the conditions of bail given her by those investigating her case.
The spokesperson of the agency, Wilson Uwujaren, via a statement, said the former lawmaker was to report herself periodically to the agency to complement the agency’s investigations.
Remember that the former minister was arrested on 17th May over suspicious financial collaboration with Phil Jin Projects Limited.
The company allegedly received N287m, even though the contract was worth N240m.
Phil Jin Project Ltd was alleged to have paid N130m to Patricia Etteh.
The anti-graft agency was to investigate why the money was received when she’s not the one directing the company.
