Abdulrasheed Bawa, the suspended Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), allegedly refused to write down his testimony while in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS).
According to Naija News, Bawa has refused to cooperate with the secret police, claiming that his imprisonment is illegal.
According to SaharaReporters, the suspended EFCC boss informed DSS investigators that he had no right to be detained without charges and so refused to write his statement.
REVEALED: Why Bola Tinubu Suspended EFCC Chairman, Bawa
According to one of the inside sources, “the detained EFCC chairman has refused to write statements; he told DSS they have no right to detain him without charges.”
“He was also accused of shielding former Governor of Zamfara, Abdulaziz Yari while helping him to hunt down his opponents.”
Another source also submitted that “So far since his detention, he has vehemently refused to cooperate with DSS investigators.”
It should be noted that Bawa was jailed alongside the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, after both were suspended by President Bola Tinubu and then arrested and incarcerated.
According to reports, Emefiele implicated Bawa as a co-conspirator in the Naira redesign scheme that rocked the country a few months ago.
EFCC Boss, Bawa Sends Strong Warning To Commission Staff
A source had said “Emefiele who is currently cooling his feet in the cell of the DSS is the reason why the EFCC chairman has been detained overnight. Emefiele who is cooperating with the DSS claimed that Bawa was the one who raised a memo to former President Muhammadu Buhari, asking that the Naira should be redesigned to stem money laundering during the 2023 election.
“Bawa confronted him that he (Emefiele) and the former Attorney-General of the Federation, Malami were the ones that came to him to raise the memo because they suspected Tinubu had warehouses stuffed with naira notes.”
