Speed Up Emefiele, Bawa’s Probe–Falana Urges DSS

By Sola Omoniyi, Lagos

Foremost Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, has urged the Department of State Services to hasten the investigation into the cases involving the suspended Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Abdulrasheed Bawa, and the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele.

Falana stated this while featuring on a Television Programme.

Recall, Congress News had earlier reported how Emefiele was arrested on June 10 by officials of the DSS over charges surrounding terrorism financing, while Bawa was arrested over allegations of abuse of office.

Falana stated that even if the DSS has obtained a court order to detain Emefiele and Bawa, the order cannot last for long.

The Senior Advocate of Nigeria urged the Nigerian government to handle the cases in line with the provisions of the law to avoid a situation whereby loopholes are exploited.
