The Department of State Services (DSS) has released a former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Abdulrasheed Bawa after over 100 days in custody.

This is according to a late Wednesday statement by the secret police.

DSS confirms release of former EFCC chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa, a few hours ago (today 25th October, 2023).

“DSS confirms release of former EFCC chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa, a few hours ago (today 25th October 2023),” the DSS spokesman Peter Afunanya said.

A video of the former EFCC chief being welcomed by his wives and children has also gone viral on social media in the aftermath of his release.

His freedom came months after President Bola Tinubu suspended him as the chairman of the anti-graft agency.
