The suspended Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Dr. Betta Edu, was on Monday denied access to President Bola Tinubu.
Edu, who arrived the presidential villa, Abuja shortly after her suspension was announced with the intention of meeting with President Tinubu, was prevented from doing so.
The suspended minister, had succeeded in scaling through all security checks up to the president’s office, she was however blocked from seeing him in his office.
Edu, who was seen working out of the president’s office with some of the president’s aides and security personnel and protocol officials escorting her out appeared sober.
Sources in the know disclosed that apart from being unable to have an audience with President Tinubu, her access tag to the villa was immediately withdrawn from her by the president’s security.
Edu who had arrived the presidential villa in an official car, was ferried out in a Toyota Hilux truck belonging to State House security.
It was not immediately clear whether she was later allowed to use her official vehicle out of the presidential villa premises.
