Bawa now back at work ‘hale and hearty’, EFCC says
EFCC chairman Abdulrasheed Bawa has been treated and now due back at work, the anti-graft office said in a statement.
The disclosure came hours after Mr Bawa slumped at an event at the Presidential Villa on Thursday afternoon.
The 41-year-old was subsequently accompanied out of the event and moved to a hospital where he was said to have received prompt treatment, with the EFCC now declaring him as “hale and hearty.”
