The Federal Government has appointed Abdulkarim Chukkol as Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
This is followed by the suspension and investigation of Abdulrasheed Bawa as a result of allegations levelled against him.
The Commission made this known in a post on its verified Facebook page on Thursday.
Until this new role, he was the Director of Operations of the Commission.
“A pioneer staff of the Commission and an illustrious member of the EFCC Cadet Course One, Mr. Chukkol is a consummate and vastly experienced investigator with speciality in cybercrime and money laundering”, the commission said.
