Former EFCC Chairman Abdulrasheed Bawa, Received Heroic Welcome in his Home Town Jega, Kebbi State.



Former EFCC chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa, received a hero's welcome in his hometown of Jega, Kebbi State, which has elicited mixed reactions. Bawa had been in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) since June, following his suspension by President Bola Tinubu. His suspension came about due to serious allegations of abuse of office. Former Zamfara State governor and Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, had accused Bawa of soliciting a $2 million bribe, an allegation he denied. The suspension was intended to facilitate a proper investigation into his conduct while in office.

Online videos depict Bawa's convoy during the visit and the warm reception he received. This situation has sparked diverse opinions among Nigerians.

@aai_austin commented: "A hero's welcome for someone accused of multiple offenses? Nigeria is not ready."

@AareHmd expressed: "Chaii... Someone who embezzled our national funds. This is absurd. These individuals are making a mockery of us!!!!"

@Davidweizide speculated: "The man might contest for president against Tinubu in 2027."

@Mansaah_Musa stood by Bawa, saying: "Our Hero. They tried to tarnish your image but they failed."

@m___mohaa lamented: "This is disheartening! Someone who is under administrative bail for allegations of looting the country is now celebrated as a hero. We are our own problem."

@CyrusAdemola criticized: "Nigeria's political class is the most wasteful group globally."

@Erbdoul predicted: "I'm 80% sure that if Abdulrasheed Bawa decides to contest for HMHR or any position in 2027, he might win."

@rebelboyalex expressed disbelief: "Imagine giving a hero's welcome to a criminal who didn't prosecute criminals as EFCC chairman and even engaged in theft. They should divide this country into two so that northerners can live in their own world."

@hassanmm27 lamented: "It's only in Nigeria that we celebrate criminality. Next up will be a traditional title and then a senate election."

@DeGodfactor criticized northern politicians: "The next thing he will come out for Governor in his state; northern politicians are fantastically corrupt, hiding behind their religion to wreak havoc in Nigeria, pocketing taxpayer funds and our mineral resources."
