The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Friday quizzed the former Minister of Women Affairs, Pauline Tallen, for alleged misappropriation of N2 billion, TheCable reports.
A source in the EFCC told the newspaper the Plateau State-born former minister was grilled by the commission’s operatives at its zonal command in Abuja in connection with funds from the African First Lady Peace Mission Project (AFLPM) initiated by former first lady, Maryam Abacha.
Tallen was appointed in 2019 by former President Muhammadu Buhari after turning down an ambassadorial nomination in 2015 on the grounds that she was not consulted before the announcement of the appointment.
