The tangling sledgehammer of President Bola Tinubu has fallen on the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), AbdulRasheed Bawa.

Recall that the first to be axed by the President within his fifteen days of assumption of office was the Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr Godwin Emefiele, who is currently under the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) over sundry allegations bordering on his office.
