According to the group chairman, Bawa stayed in Jeddah and Mecca in Sheraton Hotels which cost about $15,000 per room for 10 days where he paid for 6 rooms.
He alleged:
“Abdulrasheed Bawa expended the sum of about $300,000 on accommodation alone for the trip. Bawa should come out clean and explain to the public how the trip was funded and how payments were made for the accommodation in Mecca and Jeddah.
“The Anti-Graft Agencies should investigate and account for the N6trilion allegedly missing under Abdulrasheed Bawa Watch.
“EFCC Chairman should stop chasing shadows to investigate economic crimes in states, but to include federal government institutions in the investigations.
“Economic crimes are also being perpetrated by top government functionaries at the federal level and the EFCC’s searchlight should also be beamed on the activities of the federal government institutions, including the EFCC.”
Cabals in Buhari's govt have questions to answer
Mohammed stated that cabals in the government of President Muhammadu Buhari have questions to answer and should not be let off the hook in the probe of the anti-graft agency.
He alleged that there is more economic damage at the federal level but wondered what Bawa has a special interest in investigating state affairs
His words:
“The cabals in Buhari’s government like Mamman Daura, Sabiu Tunde, Ministers of Justice and Education, the governor of the Central Bank, Emefiele, Sarki Abba, former DG of the SSS Lawal Daura and other top federal government functionaries have questions to answer and should not be speared in the EFCC's investigations if at all the investigations are true, fair, credible and acceptable to all Nigerians.
“The EFCC Chairman should publish the letters of invitation to the people mentioned above in this report to clear himself up of the series of allegations of wrongdoing or misrule.”
