Bawa was quoted to have told investigators earlier that the DSS had no right to detain him without charges, hence his refusal to write any statements in custody.

However, on Tuesday, a source who reportedly spoke with SaharaReporters on the matter, disclosed that Bawa had been moved from the DSS headquarters to one of its private facilities.

“They’ve taken Bawa from DSS headquarters to one of their private facilities to have total control over him after he refused to write statements requested from him,” the top security source who spoke on anonymity reportedly said.

This online media platform gathered that Bawa has been in detention along with the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele.
