Daniel Bwala, spokesperson of Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to intervene in the case of Abdulrasheed Bawa, suspended Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The Department of State Services (DSS) had arrested Bawa on June 14, hours after his suspension by the President.
The Director of Information, Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Willie Bassey, in a statement announcing Bawa’s suspension, cited “weighty allegations of abuse of office leveled against him” as the reason for the President’s decision.
Since his arrest, the secret police have kept mum on the specific offences for which Bawa was arrested, the level of investigation and whether charges would be filed against him in court.
