Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has quizzed the immediate past Minister of Women Affairs, Pauline Tallen over alleged N2bn money laundering.<\/p>\n

The former minister reportedly arrived at the Abuja Zonal Command of the Commission on Friday at 12pm and was grilled by investigators until 8pm.<\/p>\n

Part of the money was allegedly diverted from the African First Ladies Peace Mission Project, Channels TV reported.<\/p>\n

Details of the allegations were sketchy as the Commission\u2019s spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, is yet to confirm the development as of the time of filing this report.<\/p>\n

This is coming hours after the EFCC interrogated the immediate past governor of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi.<\/p>\n
