Recall that while appearing before the Senate Committee on Finance in May, EFCC Chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa, said the agency recovered over N1bn from the bank account of a civil servant.
“The leakages are there. It is good for us to observe for now and wait for your committee to conclude its work so that whatever report you have and anyone that your committee decides, we are ready to take it up from there.”
Bawa did not disclose the name of the civil servant involved; however, a source at the anti-graft agency identified the civil servant as a Permanent Secretary in the ministry.
“The civil servant the chairman was talking about is the Permanent Secretary working directly with Babatunde Fashola, Minister of Works.”
