Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former lawmaker, Daniel Bwala, has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to intervene in the case of the suspended Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Abdulrasheed Bawa.<\/p>\n

Bwala is of the view that Bawa\u2019s offence did not involve an attempt to overthrow the government.<\/p>\n

In a post on his verified social media platform on Sunday, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, chieftain lamented about the pattern of arresting, detaining and humiliating the anti-graft boss.<\/p>\n

He wrote, \u201cI appeal to Mr President to intervene in the case involving Abdulrasheed Bwala, the EFCC Chair. Whatever he is being investigated, I believe non (sic) involves attempt to over throw the government. This pattern of arresting, detaining and humiliating Anti-graft boss whilst the suspects become ministers and lawmakers will eventually kill the very institution of the EFCC.\u201d<\/p>\n
