Release Ex-EFCC Boss, Bawa, Arewa Group Begs Tinubu

The President Bola Tinubu administration will further endear itself to the youths and elders across the North with a timely release of embattled Mr. Abdulrashid Bawa, the former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), an Arewa group has said.

According to members of the Coalition of Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (CAYCF), whose leader, Alhaji Babangida Malabu spoke with The Nation shortly before addressing a press conference in Abuja yesterday on the prolonged detention of Bawa by the Department of State Services negates the populist and progressive ideals of the current administration.

“The CAYCF urges the relevant authorities, particularly the Department of State Services, to adhere to the principles of the rule of law and immediately charge Mr. Bawa to court or release him without further delay; we also implore the judiciary to swiftly review any charges brought against him and ensure a fair trial that upholds the principles of justice,” Malabo stated.
