Bola Tinubu had earlier on Wednesday suspended Bawa.
His suspension, according to a statement by the Director, Information, SGF Office, Willie Basse, is to allow for proper investigation into his conduct while in office.
“This follows weighty allegations of abuse of office levelled against him,” the statement said.
“Mr Bawa has been directed to immediately hand over the affairs of his office to the Director, Operations in the Commission, who will oversee the affairs of the Office of the Chairman of the Commission pending the conclusion of the investigation.”
