The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) may grant the embattled and suspended Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation Betta Edu bail later in the day.
Top sources within the anti-graft agency confirmed the development to Channels Television on Tuesday.
Edu, 37, has been in the eye of the storm over a scandal that involved the approval of a payment of N585.2 million into a private account of a civil servant, attracting widespread criticisms from rights groups and activists.
She was suspended by President Bola Tinubu on Monday who directed the EFCC to commence a probe into the allegation.
The embattled minister had earlier arrived at the EFCC headquarters in Jabi, Abuja. She came alongside her aides and lawyer and is currently facing EFCC investigators.
