Breaking: Tinubu suspends EFCC Chairman Bawa

President Bola Tinubu has ordered the indefinite suspension of the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), AbdulRasheed Bawa.

The suspension was said to allow for proper investigation into allegations of misconduct levelled against him.

According to a statement by the Director of Information at the Office to 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.
