DSS Frees Ex-EFCC Boss, Bawa After 134 Days
The Department of State Service has freed embattled ex-EFCC boss, Abdulrasheed Bawa, after over 134 days in custody.
Bawa has been in custody since June when President Bola Tinubu suspended him.
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.
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.
Bassey had said the suspension was to allow for proper investigation into his conduct while in office.
