Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo has met with the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Mr Babachir Lawal, barely an hour after the announcement of his suspension from office.

The closed door meeting of the Vice-President with the suspended SGF might be connected with the committee set up by President Muhammadu Buhari to investigate allegations of misconduct against the SGF.

The three-man committee, headed by the Vice-President, is also to investigate the discovery of large amounts of foreign and local currencies by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in a residential apartment at Osborne Towers, Ikoyi, Lagos, over which the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) has made a claim.

The SGF refused to comment on the outcome of his meeting with the Vice-President, when approached by journalists. (NAN)
