Abdulrasheed Bawa, the suspended Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has been removed from the Department of State Services (DSS) headquarters in Abuja to an undisclosed private facility, Naija News is reporting.
VerseNews Nigeria gathered that the embattled suspended anti-graft agency boss was moved to another facility to have total control over him after he reportedly refused to corporate with the secret police as they seek statements from him in their custody.
Bawa was quoted to have told investigators earlier that the DSS had no right to detain him without charges, hence his refusal to write any statements in custody.
According to a source on Tuesday who spoke on the matter, Bawa had been moved from the DSS headquarters to one of its private facilities.
