BIRNIN-KEBBI, North-West, Nigeria – The former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Malam Abdulrasheed Bawa, on Wednesday paid Sallah homage to his Paramount ruler, Alhaji Muhammadu Arzika, (Sarkin Kabin).
A statement issued and signed by Tijjani Isa on behalf of the Yahaya Bawa family and friends, made available to newsmen on Friday, stated that Bawa was at the palace in company of his uncle, Alhaji Ibrahim Yahaya Bawa, who were both conferred with traditional titles early last year.
The former EFCC chairman bagged the title of ‘Tafidan Jega’ while his uncle, Alhaji Ibrahim Bawa, a former executive director services of the Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company, (KRPC) a subsidiary of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Ltd, was conferred with the title ‘Chigari’.
The visit was the first official engagement of the erstwhile EFCC chairman since his conferment as the ‘Tafidan Jega’ and his recent retirement from the Commission.
The Paramount ruler welcomed Bawa home and assured him of the courtesies demanded of his traditional title and the cooperation of the people of Jega and environs.
He reminded Bawa that as the ‘Tafida Jega’ his task shall be to guide the initiation and timely completion of all development projects within the land and ensure they touch the people positively.
The royal father also assured Bawa that he has his uncle, Alhaji Ibrahim Bawa, as a reliable allied.
