Tinubu’s Probe Ongoing — EFCC Chair

Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC),
Abdulrasheed Bawa, says a former governor of Lagos State and
national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed
Tinubu, is under investigation.

In an exclusive interview published by ThisDay on Sunday, Bawa
said investigation does not end in a day.

He said: “You asked me a question earlier about arresting people
before investigation and now you are saying why didn’t we arrest
Tinubu? Why didn’t you just say ‘arrest him?’

“Investigation is ongoing. When you are investigating matters
like this, they don’t end in a day. Thousands of investigations are
going on, on a daily basis.

“You understand? You know you are from the media. After you will
say we are doing media trial.”

Bawa was said to have requested for Tinubu’s assets declaration
form when he was the head of Lagos Zonal Office.

In a related development, a former Managing Director of Alpha
Beta LLP, Mr. Dapo Apara, has filed a suit demanding a Lagos State
High Court to stop Tinubu from “controlling the finances of Alpha
Beta.”

The suit was filed on Wednesday by Mr Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa (SAN)
on behalf of Apara.
