The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has reacted to the alleged $2 million bribe claims levelled against its chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa by Zamfara state governor, Bello Matawalle.

The corruption agency stated that it would not be drawn into the mud with a suspect who is accused of corruption.

Matawalle in an interview with BBC Hausa on Friday, May 19, alleged that Bawa had in the past demanded the money from him as bribe.

Matawalle has been in a running battle with the EFCC boss after the commission began an investigation into alleged corrupt practices against him.
