I honestly think the stuff Abdulrasheed Bawa is saying in his book is kinda explosive, but you gotta ask if it’s the whole story or just his take. Some people might say he’s exposing the truth, especially since he was right there, leading the investigation. But you know how it goes – when someone writes a book like this after leaving such a high position, it’s gonna ruffle feathers. A few politicians or big business people might claim Bawa’s exaggerating to make himself look good or push for certain reforms.

I mean, he did talk about trillions of naira lost, which is wild! That number alone is almost hard to believe, but he does give examples and details, like ghost shipments and forged documents, so he’s not just making it up. From my point of view, even if he’s blowing some things up for attention, you can’t deny these scams were a big deal.

People will definitely debate if his book is telling the whole truth or just part of it, but either way, it started a conversation Nigeria badly needs. It actually made me rethink how honest big anti-corruption agencies really are, even if they say all the right things.
