Falana demands immediate release of detained EFCC chairman

A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, has asked the Department of State Services (DSS) to release the suspended Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Abdulrasheed Bawa from detention without further delay.

The DSS arrested Bawa shortly after he was suspended by President Bola Tinubu on June 14.

In a statement issued on Sunday, the rights activist argued that the remand order secured by the secret police from a magistrate court in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) on the anti-graft czar has expired and demanded his immediate release.
