Pauline, 64, is being accused of embezzling 2 billion naira (£3,477,040) from the African First Lady Peace Mission Project (AFLPM).

Mayam Abacha, the wife of former Nigerian dictator Sani Abacha, established the initiative to foster peace and harmony in Africa.

The Anti-graft agency declared its intention to pursue outgoing governors and other public officials following the inauguration of Nigeria’s new President, Bola Tinubu.

EFCC invited a former governor of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi, on Thursday, May 25th, to investigate the alleged misappropriation of N4 billion (£6,954,080) during his time in office.

But the governor claimed his allegation was engineered by what he termed “a frivolous petition from a faceless group, the so-called Ekiti Patriotic Coalition”, adding that he would “cooperate fully.”
