EFCC Boss, Abdulrasheed Bawa Slumps In Aso Rock
Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Abdulrasheed Bawa, on Thursday slumped at a programme at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Bawa was speaking on the importance of digital identification in commemoration of the National Identity Day.
As soon as he took the podium, he said his address would have been a long one given the importance of National Digital Identity but he would cut it short because of the death of a senior EFCC staff in Ibadan.
Bawa began by saying National Identity was “significant for instance there was a young man arrested in Ibadan with 116 SIM cards…”
At this point, Bawa became emotional and sobbed before stating “let me stop here”.
On descending from the podium, he broke down and was rushed out of the auditorium.
The EFCC boss was then immediately rushed out of the hall, accompanied by the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Mr Isa Panatami and other dignitaries.
Shortly after, Mr Pantami returned to the hall and said he was now in a stable condition.
The event continued thereafter.
