Operatives of the Department of State Services have on Saturday conducted a search Gwarinpa home, Abuja home of the suspended Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Abdulrasheed Bawa in the presence of his wife and children. In the same vein, similar search was said to have been conducted in Bawa’s office same day.

It will be recalled that the DSS had during the week invited people suspected to be Bawa’s close associates in the EFCC for interrogation over alleged misappropriation and diversion of proceeds of sold assets forfeited to the EFCC.

Bawa, who is currently being held in the custody of the DSS “Yellow House,” Abuja, is being probed for alleged financial impropriety as EFCC helmsman. Recall Bawa was once accused by a former governor of demanding from him (the governor) about $2 million bribe in order to compromise a case.

President Bola Tinubu had on June 14 suspended Bawa as EFCC chairman indefinitely, following which the DSS picked him up.

A government source, who also pleaded anonymity, however, said the DSS had yet to file charges against the embattled EFCC boss as investigation was still ongoing, though, the DSS had obtained an ex parte order to extend Bawa’s detention in their facility, while they continue with their investigation.
