Suspended EFCC Chairman, Bawa in DSS Office
THE Department of State Services – DSS, says the suspended Chairman of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission – EFCC, Abdulrasheed Bawa has been invited to their office.
The DSS Public Relations Officer, Peter Afunanya said in a statement on Wednesday evening that “Bawa arrived a few hours ago. The invitation relates to some investigative activities concerning him.”
It will be recalled that President Bola Tinubu had approved Bawa’s indefinite suspension to allow for proper investigation into EFCC boss’ conduct while in office.
According to a statement by the Director of Information at the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Willie Bassey, the action follows “weighty” allegations of abuse of office levelled against him.
“Mr Bawa has been directed to immediately handover the affairs of his office to the Director, Operations in the Commission, who will oversee the affairs of the Office of the Chairman of the Commission pending the conclusion of the investigation,” the statement said.
