The Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), has reported that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, has approved the indefinite suspension of AbdulRasheed Bawa, the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
According to NTA, this follows weighty allegations of abuse of office levelled against him by some stakeholders in the anti-corruption fight.
Mr Bawa has been directed to immediately hand over the affairs of his office to the Director, Operations in the Commission, who will oversee the affairs of the Office of the Chairman of the Commission pending the conclusion of the investigation.
NTA stated that this is a developing story and will provide more details as they emerge.
