In a significant development, President Bola Tinubu has taken the decision to suspend AbdulRasheed Bawa, the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The move, as conveyed by Willie Basse, the Director of Information at the SGF Office, is aimed at facilitating a thorough investigation into Bawa’s conduct during his tenure.
According to the statement released, the decision to suspend Bawa comes in light of serious accusations of misconduct in his official capacity.
As a result, Mr. Bawa has been instructed to promptly hand over his responsibilities to the Director of Operations within the Commission.
This interim arrangement will ensure that the Office of the Chairman of the Commission is effectively managed until the investigation reaches its conclusion.
