The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA has asked the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Betta Edu, to resign and submit herself to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, for investigations.
The group made the call following the Federal Government’s ongoing fraud investigation in NSIPA as it involved the public fund she allegedly deposited in a private individual’s bank account.

It said public sector financial regulations of 2009 prohibits the payment of public funds into a private individual account.
HURIWA further called on the President and the EFCC to use the best global practice in the enforcement of the anti-graft laws since the law shouldn’t be made to favour individuals because they are top officials in the ruling All Progressives Congress.
