BREAKING: Former EFCC Boss Regains Freedom After 134 Days in DSS Custody
In a significant development, Abdulrasheed Bawa, the former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has been released from the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) following a lengthy period of over 134 days in detention. This news comes shortly after Sahara Reporters reported that Bawa had initiated legal action against Nigeria’s Secret Police, the DSS, for what he alleges was an ‘illegal detention.’
In a bold move, Bawa filed a lawsuit at the Lagos Division of the Federal High Court, represented by Barrister Chinedu Oburu of Edu Oburu & Co., seeking the court’s intervention for the enforcement of his fundamental rights. Specifically, in his suit, he requested the court to declare his detention without a fair trial as illegal and to issue an order for his immediate release.
This development marks a significant turn of events in the ongoing legal battle surrounding Abdulrasheed Bawa’s detention. As the details of this case continue to unfold, we will provide you with more comprehensive information shortly. Stay tuned for updates on this evolving story.
