EFCC rejects the 3-week extension request by Ex-Minister Sadiya, the Commission yesterday asked her to appear before its team within three days for interrogation or risk being declared wanted.
BrandNewsDay reports that the Economic Finance and Crime Commission has thrown out former Minister of Humanitarian Affairs Hajiya Sadiya Umar-Farouq’s plea to extend the commission’s appeal to an extra 3 weeks from the day initially proposed.
A source said: “In her letter, she asked the EFCC to give her three weeks to attend to her health before honouring the commission’s investigation. Her counsel delivered the letter on Wednesday.
“But the EFCC said it cannot delay the investigation for three weeks. It has given the ex-minister three days to appear or risk being declared wanted.
“Olukoyede has put a new system in place such that you can appear before EFCC detectives and sleep in your home the same day. There is no need to panic at all.
“We are expecting her; our team is on standby. Even if she requires medical help, we will avail her of our first-class facility.”
