The Department of State Service (DSS) has released the former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Abdulrasheed Bawa, who had been held in custody for 134 days. Bawa's release came on Wednesday night, marking the end of a lengthy period of detention.
The ordeal began on June 14 when the secret police arrested Abdulrasheed Bawa just hours after he was suspended from his position by President Bola Tinubu. The circumstances surrounding his suspension and subsequent arrest raised significant public interest and speculation.
The DSS initially took custody of Bawa amid ongoing investigations into his activities during his tenure as the head of the EFCC. The arrest and detention of a former anti-corruption agency chief sent shockwaves through the country, as Bawa's tenure had been marked by high-profile cases and significant efforts to combat corruption.
While the specific reasons for Bawa's arrest and the subsequent release remain unclear, it is expected that more information will surface in the coming days. The release of the former EFCC Chairman has left many wondering about the intricacies of this high-profile case and its potential implications for Nigeria's anti-corruption efforts.
As the nation awaits further details, the release of Abdulrasheed Bawa after 134 days in custody is certainly a significant development that will be closely followed by the public and legal experts alike.
