Kebbi Confers Bawa with traditional title

Abdulrasheed Bawa, chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has said that there was no diamond bra recovered from the residence of the former minister of petroleum, Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke.

Diezani, who had fled the county shortly before former President Goodluck Jonathan handed over to President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015, is alleged to have amassed billions of naira while she served as minister and been charged for various offences while in office.

In October, there were reports quoting Federal Government officials who listed assets forfeited by Diezani to include properties located in Banana Island Foreshore Estate, Ikoyi, Lagos.

Other items listed are 125 wedding gowns, 13 small gowns, 41 waist trainers, 73 hard flowers, 11 suits, 11 invisible bras, 73 veils, 30 braziers, two standing fans, 17 magic skirts, six blankets, one table blanket and 64 pairs of shoes.

Among the items said to have also recovered was a diamond bra allegedly forfeited by Diezani.

Speaking publicly on the claim that a diamond bra was confiscated from Diezani, in d issue for the first time when he appeared as a guest on the TVC programme, Your View, Bawa who said he was the lead investigator in the Diezani case and was privy to the recoveries said that there was no such diamond bra.

“You have accused us several times of media trial, but I think it’s good to be fair to everybody at all times. Justice is a two-way thing. There was nothing like diamond bra. It’s a creation of social media,” he said.

“I can tell you that for free because I am the lead investigator on that. I’m not aware of it. If there is something on that, I should know because I led the search and all of that.

“And that is one of the things that I mentioned to you that the biggest problem that we have is our attitude. We need to change for the better.”
