The former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC), Abdulrasheed Bawa, has paid a visit to former President Muhammadu Buhari in London.

He visited Buhari on Wednesday for undisclosed reasons.

Bawa turned 45 the day he visited Buhari. He was the youngest person to have been appointed the EFCC chairman, as he was 41 years old at the time of his appointment in 2022.

Bawa, who was appointed by Buhari as the EFCC boss, was also the first non-police officer to head the anti-graft agency.

He served as chairman from 24 February 2021 to 14 June 2023, when he was suspended by President Bola Tinubu over allegations of corruption.

Bawa had replaced Umar Mohammed Abba, the acting chairman of the commission, and until the former’s appointment, he was the Deputy Chief Superintendent of the anti-graft agency.
