The ICPC had previously summoned top officials of the NSITF for questioning regarding the N47 million gratuity paid to the immediate past Managing Director, Maureen Allagoa, while she was still in service.

However, it was gathered that the former minister spent over five hours with ICPC investigators on Wednesday, responding to questions. A source familiar with the matter said: “He was invited, he showed up and was released on Wednesday night.”
