After enduring 134 days in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS), Abdulrasheed Bawa, the suspended Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has finally regained his freedom. This emotional development was captured in a heartwarming video where Bawa could be seen jubilantly celebrating his release with friends and family.
This significant turn of events follows our previous report on June 14, 2023, when it was initially disclosed that Bawa had been placed in DSS custody. The reason for his detention, as explained by Peter Afunanya, the DSS spokesperson, was his involvement in various investigative activities.
Now, after months of uncertainty and legal proceedings. This is a moment of profound relief for both Bawa and his well-wishers who have been eagerly anticipating his release.
The release of the former EFCC boss is bound to have far-reaching implications within the legal and political landscape, as it may have ramifications on the ongoing investigations and dynamics within the EFCC.
