Drama As Bawa ‘refuses to write statements, insists DSS has no right to detain him…’

Abdulrasheed Bawa, the suspended Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has refused to write statements at the facility of the Department of State Services (DSS).

Bawa, according to Sahara Reporters, told investigators that the DSS had no right to detain him without charges, hence his refusal to write any statements in custody.

Bawa has been in detention along with Godwin Emefiele, the suspended governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, since they were suspended from their respective offices by the President Bola Tinubu’s administration over corruption allegations and abuse of office.

Bawa had refused to cooperate with DSS investigators, protesting against his detention without charges.

“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,” one of the sources revealed.

“So far since his detention, he has vehemently refused to cooperate with DSS investigators,” another top source noted.

Meanwhile, Emefiele named Bawa as an accomplice in the Naira redesign scam that rocked the country some months ago.

Bawa’s invitation and grilling by the DSS came days after Emefiele was arrested and flown from Lagos to Abuja to also face interrogations over alleged corruption and abuse of office.
