The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has said its newly-appointed chairman, Mr. Abdulrasheed Bawa, has no record of corruption or any criminality whatsoever.
The commission said Bawa was never arrested or detained over sale of any assets as being bandied in public dormain.
Explaining the disposal of forfeited trucks in the Port Harcourt zonal office through public auction, it said it was conducted after the exit of Bawa as the zone’s head.
The commission made the clarifications in a statement by its Head of Media and Publicity, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren.
Uwujaren said: “The attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has been drawn to a report by an online publication, Peoples Gazette, alleging that Mr. Adulrasheed Bawa, the Chairman-designate of the Commission, was arrested and detained by the Agency under former Chairman, Ibrahim Magu, over illegal sale of 244 forfeited trucks to proxies in Port Harcourt.
“The publication claims that the illegal sale was uncovered by the suspended Secretary to the Commission, Ola Olukoyede, who alerted the former chairman, Ibrahim Magu, leading to Bawa’s detention and subsequent redeployment to the EFCC Academy, Abuja.”/SHARE THIS
