The suspended Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Dr. Betta Edu, was on Monday denied access to President Bola Tinubu.
Edu, who arrived at the presidential villa, Abuja, shortly after her suspension , also had her villa tag withdrawn.
She could not secure audience with President Tinubu.
Reports say said that the suspended minister had succeeded in scaling through all security checks to the president’s office. She was, however, blocked from seeing the president in his office.
Edu, who was seen working out of Tinubu’s office with some of the president’s aides and security personnel and protocol officials escorting her out, appeared sober.
She had arrived at the presidential villa in her official car, but 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.
