In an exclusive interview published by ThisDay Newspaper (not Page 36), Bawa stated that investigation does not end in a day.
His exact words: “You asked me a question earlier about arresting people before investigation, and now you are saying why did we not arrest Tinubu? Why did you not just say ‘arrest him?’
“Investigation is ongoing. When you are investigating matters like this, they do not end in a day. Thousands of investigations are going on, on a daily basis.
“You understand? You know you are from the Media. After you will say we are doing Media trial.”
Recall, that Bawa was said to have requested for Tinubu’s assets declaration form, when he was the Head of the Lagos Zonal Office of the EFCC.
In a related development, a former Managing Director of Alpha Beta LLP, Mr. Dapo Apara, has filed a suit asking a Lagos State High Court to stop Tinubu from “controlling the finances of Alpha Beta”.
