Later, Isa Pantami, minister of
communications and digital economy, escorted him out of the banquet hall.
Reacting to the incident in a
statement on Thursday, Wilson Uwujaren, EFCC chairman, said Bawa is “is hale
and hearty”.
“The chairman of the Economic and
Financial Commission, EFCC, Abdulrasheed Bawa is hale and hearty,” Uwujaren
said.
“This clarification became
necessary following an incident today September 16, 2021 at the Presidential
Villa, Abuja where he was giving a goodwill message to the National Identity
Day celebration, felt unwell and had to return to his seat.
“He has since received medical
