The source also noted that the suspended EFCC chairman allegedly collaborated with the suspended CBN governor, Emefiele,
Last month, Matawalle accused Bawa of demanding a $2m bribe from him.
Matawale made the allegation during an interview with BBC Hausa amid ongoing rift between the governor and the anti-graft agency. The source said, “You’re very much aware that Matawale also accused the chairman of demanding a $2m bribe from him. That’s also part of the allegations levelled against him that led to his suspension.
“Also, there’s an allegation that Bawa collaborated with the suspended CBN governor, Emefiele, in some fraudulent dealings with Bureau De Change operators.”All rights reserved.
