The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Abdulrasheed Bawa, has explained why he fainted today at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Bawa said doctors at the State House hospital in Abuja told him he was a ‘bit dehydrated.’
Bawa who said he is now “hale and hearty” after the medical scare disclosed that he left the hospital after the doctors confirmed that there was nothing serious with him.
Bawa slumped on Thursday morning while speaking on the importance of digital identification in commemoration of the National Identity Day.
Explaining what happened, Bawa, who was a guest on Channels TV Politics Today monitored by TheNiche, said doctors confirmed that everything about him was okay.
“Well of course I’m okay, as you can see I’m very much okay … What happened today (Thursday), you’re aware today is 16th of September, and it is National Identity Day celebration. I was invited by the NIMC, specifically the Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy and while giving my goodwill message, I had to excuse myself because there was a bit of dizziness on me,” he said.
“Then of course I went straight to the hospital, where the doctors confirmed that everything about me is okay but for the fact that I was a bit dehydrated and I need to take a lot of water. So straight away from the hospital, I went to the office tidied up one or two things; I’m now back at home.”
Bawa, however, thanked Nigerians for their prayers and well wishes.
