The Department of State Services (DSS), says the suspended Chairman of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Abdulrasheed Bawa is now in its custody.
The Public Relations Officer of the secret agency, Peter Afunanya in a statement issued Wednesday said his invitation relates to some investigative activities concerning him.
He said: “The Department of State Services (DSS) has invited Mr. Abdulrasheed Bawa, the suspended Chairman of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Bawa arrived a few hours ago. The invitation relates to some investigative activities concerning him.”
TheHintsNews reports that President Bola Tinubu had earlier approved Bawa’s indefinite suspension.
In a statement issued Wednesday by the Director of Information, Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Willie Bassey, the president said the suspension was to allow for proper investigation into his conduct while in office.
He said: “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.”
