Bawa was subsequently quizzed at the DSS headquarters the same day and nothing has been heard of the matter for three weeks now.<\/p>\n<p>Olajengbesi said, \u201cWhen Bawa was suspended and detained, I joined other well-meaning Nigerians to hail the move by President Bola Tinubu because the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2023\/06\/26\/breaking-group-storms-efcc-office-demand-arrest-of-zamfara-ex-gov-matawalle\/\">EFCC<\/a> under Bawa violated fundamental human rights through reckless midnight Gestapo raids on hotels and homes of innocent citizens.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, illegality should not beget another illegality. Without any contradiction, the continued detention of Bawa by the secret police for three straight weeks now is unconstitutional and a breach of the fundamental rights of the detainee.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIllegality cannot beget another illegality. The DSS should immediately release Bawa to rejoin his family members or without further delays, or charge him to court to face charges preferred against him by the Federal Government. Anything outside these two options is alien to law and won\u2019t stand.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Abuja-based human rights lawyer, Pelumi Olajengbesi has tackled the Department of State Services (DSS) over the continued detention of the suspended Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), AbdulRasheed Bawa.
