In a shocking turn of events, Abdulrasheed Bawa, the suspended Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has been summoned for questioning by operatives from the Department of State Services (DSS). This comes as a direct consequence of ongoing investigations into Bawa’s activities during his tenure at the anti-graft agency.
Dr. Peter Afunanya, the official spokesperson for the DSS, issued a statement confirming Bawa’s invitation and subsequent arrival at the secret police headquarters for the probe. The statement, exclusively provided to Vanguard, sheds light on the gravity of the situation.
“The Department of State Services (DSS) has extended an invitation to Mr. Abdulrasheed Bawa, the suspended Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC),” said Dr. Afunanya.
Sources within the DSS reveal that Bawa arrived at their premises mere hours ago, and this invitation stems from several ongoing investigative activities involving him. It is clear that the authorities are keen on getting to the bottom of the allegations surrounding the former EFCC chairman’s conduct.
This development follows closely on the heels of President’s decision to indefinitely suspend Abdulrasheed Bawa from his role. The timing of the interrogation raises questions about the reasons behind his suspension, hinting at the possibility of serious misconduct or grave irregularities in his administration of the anti-graft agency.
Abdulrasheed Bawa’s tenure as EFCC Chairman has been marked by several high-profile cases and significant strides in the fight against corruption. However, the recent events surrounding his suspension and subsequent interrogation have cast a shadow over his accomplishments, leaving the nation anxiously awaiting further details on the investigations and their potential implications.
The Department of State Services remains tight-lipped about the specific allegations against Bawa and the extent of their investigation. As the situation unfolds, Nigerians are left wondering about the potential ramifications for the EFCC and the fight against corruption in the country.
