DSS Invites Bawa After Suspension

The suspended Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Abdulrasheed Bawa has arrived at the facility of the Department of State Services.

This is following an invitation by the service after his suspension was announced.

President Bola Tinubu had suspended Bawa over what he described as weighty allegations against him.

However, in a statement issued on Wednesday night by the service spokesperson, Peter Afunanya, the time Bawa got there was not stated.

Afunanya explained that his invitation was on “investigative activities concerning him”.

The statement read, “The Department of State Services has invited Abdulrasheed Bawa, the suspended Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. Bawa arrived a few hours ago. The invitation relates to some investigative activities concerning him.”

Recall that the immediate past Governor of Zamfara State, Bello Matawalle in an interview in May accused Bawa of demanding a $2m bribe from him.
