The former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC), Abdulrasheed Bawa, on Wednesday, April 30, visited ex-President Muhammadu Buhari in London, the United Kingdom.
The purpose of the visit of the former EFCC boss was not disclosed but photos of their meeting have surfaced online.
An X user, Imran Muhammad @Imranmuhdz, confirmed the development in a post shared on his page on Thursday, May 1, 2025.
He tweeted:
Recall that Muhammadu Buhari appointed Bawa to lead the anti-graft agency in 2021, but he was removed from office by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on June 14, 2023.
Bawa was directed to hand over to the Director, Operations in the commission pending the conclusion of the investigation of abuse of office against him.
Following his removal from office, he was arrested by operatives of the Department of State Services on June 14, 2023, after an invitation for undisclosed reasons shortly after meeting Tinubu.
The former EFCC boss was detained and investigated for alleged financial impropriety during his tenure at the anti-graft agency.
The secret police on Wednesday night, October 25, 2024, freed Bawa, the embattled former EFCC boss, after 134 days in custody.
