The Department of State Services has freed the embattled ex-Economic and Financial Crimes Commission boss, Abdulrasheed Bawa.

Bawa was released from the national headquarters of the secret police, ‘Yellow House,’ in Abuja, on Wednesday night.

In a video that has since gone viral, Bawa was seen with family and friends celebrating his release.

Bawa was arrested and detained by the DSS on June 14, 2023, following an invitation over undisclosed reasons after he visited President Bola Tinubu earlier on the same day.

Bawa was being probed for alleged financial impropriety during his active years in the anti-graft agency.

Sources privy to the development also revealed that the embattled ex-EFCC boss refused to hire a legal representative despite his confinement.

When contacted late Wednesday night, the spokespersons for the DSS and the EFCC, Dr. Peter Afunanya and Dele Oyewale, didn’t respond to inquiries by our correspondent on Bawa’s release.
