Bawa said:
"We are just doing our job and don't want people to panic or fear, and feel free to come to the EFCC with all sense of belonging.
"It's just about finding out the facts and what happened. Just come and explain, so why are you scared or afraid? To me, it's a sign that you are guilty as suspected not guilty as charged."
Bawa’s last interview with Chude
The embattled former EFCC boss granted the interview a few weeks ago before he was finally suspended from office on Wednesday, June 14, 2023, by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu over allegations of abuse of office.
Sharing the video on Twitter, @Chude wrote:
"A few weeks ago, as part of another project, the charming Abdulrasheed Bawa gave me unprecedented access at the sprawling complex of the EFCC headquarters, Abuja.
"It turned out to be his last TV interview - before being suspended last week."

APC group flags report of Tinubu dissolving MDAs as fake news
In another development, a media arm of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign council known as the Tinubu/Shettima Media Support dismissed the report that President Bola Tinubu had completed plans to dissolve government agencies and MDAs.
In a Twitter post on Sunday, June 18, the group flagged the report as fake while sharing a screenshot of the news.
In the post, the federal government was said to be planning to dissolve boards of government parastatals and agencies in the coming days.
Tinubu commended for suspending Bawa
Legit.ng earlier reported that Abdulrasheed Bawa, the suspended chairman of the EFCC, was accused of taking sides in the prosecution of criminal cases.
Babajide Otitoju, a veteran journalist, made the allegation while defending President Bola Tinubu's move on the suspension of the embattled EFCC chairman.
Otitoju revealed that the death of Abba Kyari, the late chief of staff to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, made it easier to remove Ibrahim Madu and bring in Bawa as EFCC chairman.
