Former EFCC Chairman Abdulrasheed Bawa Visits Ex-President Buhari In London.
Abdulrasheed Bawa, the former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), paid a visit to former President Muhammadu Buhari in London on Wednesday. The purpose of the visit remains undisclosed. Interestingly, Bawa celebrated his 45th birthday on the same day as his visit to Buhari.
During his tenure as EFCC Chairman, which spanned from February 2021 to June 2023, Bawa made history as the youngest person to hold the position at the age of 41. He was also notable for being the first non-police officer to head the anti-graft agency. Bawa’s appointment and subsequent service were marked by significant efforts to combat financial crimes in Nigeria.
Bawa’s visit to Buhari, who appointed him as EFCC Chairman, has sparked interest among Nigerians and observers alike. While the details of their meeting remain private, it is worth noting that Bawa’s tenure as EFCC Chairman was cut short when he was suspended by President Bola Tinubu over allegations of corruption.
