Embattled Head of the Civil Service, Mrs Winifred Oyo-Ita, on Sunday, met with President Muhammadu Buhari.
Oyo-Ita was, a couple of days ago, arrested by Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, for questioning.
She was alleged to have grilled on fraud allegations totalling about N3billion, an amount many people say is equal to the budget of the Ministry of Special Duties, where she was Permanent Secretary, and so, asking how possible that could have been.
She was given an administrative bail, and thereafter, allegedly hospitalized.
At the time of her questioning, President Buhari was on Sallah holidays in Daura, and returned to Abuja only on Saturday.
But Aso Rock sources say Oyo-Ita met with the President on Sunday, a meeting sources say she was desirous of, so as to tell the President her own side of the story.
Even though details of their meeting have not been made public, unconfirmed sources say the President may not have been happy over her ordeal.
One of the allegations against her had to do with the Civil Servants Insurance Scheme, a scheme which papers are still in the Villa, and which has not taken off yet.
Oyo-Ita is not a stranger to the President, having worked with her when he was the Chairman of the Petroleum Trust Fund, OFF, under the regime of late Head of State, General Sani Abacha.
