The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has grilled Pauline Tallen, former minister of women affairs, over alleged corrupt enrichment.
We understands that Tallen was questioned at the Abuja zonal command for allegedly misappropriating N2 billion.
Although details of the case against the ex-minister are still unclear, a source familiar with the probe said it involves funds from the African First Lady Peace Mission Project (AFLPM).
The initiative, conceived by Maryam Abacha, former first lady, is centred on promoting peace and harmony in Africa.
It was gathered she could not immediately reach Wilson Uwujaren, spokesperson of the EFCC, for details of the probe.
Shortly before May 29, the EFCC had said it intends to go after then-outgoing governors and other public officials.
