The report is coming on the background of President Bola Tinubu suspending leaders of two major government institutions in his second and third weeks in office.

In his second week in office, President Tinubu suspended Godwin Emefiele, the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) over heavy allegations against his office.

Both Emefiele and Bawa have been accused of abuse of office during their stays as government appointees, and their suspensions appeared to be welcomed by many Nigerians who have commended the president for the move.

However, it is essential to note that the naira redesign policy Emefiele introduced barely two months before the presidential election was adjudged to scuttle the chance of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the election, even now President Tinubu raised an alarm in Ogun State then.

Legit.ng earlier reported that the EFCC has denied the report that it has declared Bello Matawalle, the former governor of Zamfara State, wanted.

A statement from the commission's spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, also denied the claim that it EFCC begged the DSS to help arrest the former governor wherever he was found.

Matawalle of APC was earlier accused by his successor, Dauda Lawal of PDP, and harassed by the police over alleged stolen vehicles but went to the court to wash clean.
