Bawa was suspended by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Wednesday after a meeting at the presidential villa. He was was instructed to immediately hand over the office to Abdulkareem Chukkol. A stern statement issued by George Akume, Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), said this happened to “allow for proper investigation into his conduct while in office.”
The suspension was in response to serious charges of abuse of authority made against him by certain key players in the battle against corruption.
