A monumental tragedy was averted in Abuja, Thursday, September 16, when the Chairman of the nation’s anti graft agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Abdulrasheed Bawa, slumped.

The incident happened at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, while Bawa was  giving a speech at an ongoing programme.

Bawa was giving his goodwill message at the National Identity Day celebration when he suddenly stopped speaking.

He was speaking about a man the Commission arrested in Ibadan, Oyo state, with 116 SIM cards when the incident happened.

He was  assisted to his seat by the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr Isa Ali Pantami, and other senior officials at the event.

He was later rushed out of Presidential Villa to a yet to be known hospital.

It is not known what caused the situation, but speculations point to exhaustion.

Young and energetic, Bawa has hardly had a breathing space since he was appointed to replace the removed Acting Chairman of the EFCC, CP Ibrahim Magu.

Said an EFCC source: ” The Chairman works 24/7, no rest. He has too much to do. He is giving it his all. We hope he does not give it his life.”
