EFCC boss Bawa collapses after exposing Ibadan man with 116 sim cards

The Chairman of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Abdulrasheed Bawa, recently collapsed while exposing a resident of Ibadan, who was arrested and in possession of 116 sim cards.

Bawa was rushed out of the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Thursday, after he slumped during the National Identity Day celebration.

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

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

Bawa had stopped talking and covered his face with his right palm, saying, “Please, excuse me, I can’t continue.”

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, but the anti-graft czar slumped on his seat and was immediately rushed out of the programme.

The Master of Ceremony (MC) later announced that the Bawa’s condition was stable.

“I am happy to announce to you that the EFCC Chairman is now stable,” he said.
