The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says Abdulrasheed Bawa will continue to lead the agency despite Thursday’s apparent medical episode.
Bawa, 41, who remains the youngest EFCC chairman ever, slumped during a public appearance at the Presidential Villa. But the agency said he has received medical attention and is “hale and hearty”.
Here is the EFCC statement:
“The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Commission, EFCC, Abdulrasheed Bawa is hale and hearty. This clarification became necessary following an incident today September 16, 2021, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja where he was giving a goodwill message to the National Identity Day celebration, felt unwell and had to return to his seat.
“He has since received medical attention and is due back at his desk.”
