DSS releases Bawa ex-EFCC chairman

DSS releases Bawa ex-EFCC chairman

A former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Abdulrasheed Bawa, has regained freedom.

Bawa has been in the custody of the Department of the State Services (DSS) since June when President Bola Tinubu suspended him.

Former governor of Zamfara State and Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, had accused Bawa of demanding $2 million bribe from him, an allegation which he denied.

Willie Bassey, Director of Information at the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, had said Bawa was suspended as a result of weighty allegations of abuse of office levelled against him.
