Nigeria’s President Tinubu Fires Head Of Anti-Graft Agency Days After Suspending Central Bank Governor
Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday suspended the head of the economic and financial crimes unit Abdulrasheed Bawa indefinitely for abuse of office, the presidency said in a statement.
The move came a week after the president suspended the country’s central bank governor Godwin Emefiele.
Created 20 years ago, the EFCC investigates and prosecutes financial crimes, including money laundering and corruption.
Bawa, the fifth chairman of EFCC, was appointed two years ago after the Senate refused to approve the reappointment of his predecessor who acted for four years.
