Why Former EFCC Chairmen Exited Unceremoniously — Bawa

The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC), Abdulrasheed Bawa, has attributed the unpleasant
circumstances surrounding exits of his predecessors to ‘corruption
fighting back’.

Bawa stated this on Thursday while speaking during the weekly
Ministerial Briefing organized by the Presidential Media Team at
the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Asked if he was not concerned how his predecessors were removed
from office, the EFCC boss said there are reasons why occupiers of
the office will be considered as enemies by persons whom they had
denied the enjoyment of an illegally acquired wealth.

According to him, such persons who had been stopped and made to
relinquish illicitly acquired assets always go out to embarrass and
get their pound of flesh from the official deemed to have been
their nemesis.

He also disclosed that some persons had already started a move
to tarnish his image, moving round and securing services of media
outlets to execute the plot against him.
