According to an EFCC source who spoke to Punch, Usman complained of health challenges while she was being interrogated.

The source said “Since she has been cooperating with us and has also returned some money, she will be granted an administrative bail. She seems to have some health challenges. Also, releasing her will give her the ability to return more funds.”

Also, the EFCC has reportedly seized two properties belonging to the former minister.
