Must read

A few minutes after he was released from the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS), former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, is in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and answering questions from its operatives

According to a News Agency of Nigeria ((NAN) report, Emefiele, who is currently being interrogated at the National Headquarters of the anti-graft agency, Jabi, Abuja, was picked up by EFCC operatives on Thursday night, less than an hour after he regained his freedom from the dungeon of the Department of State Services.

An impeccable source revealed the development to our Correspondent on Friday morning, noting that the EFCC is probing Emefiele over alleged impropriety during his term as the head of the apex bank.

“Yes, Emefiele is currently in our (EFCC) custody; he was arrested last night, less than an hour after the DSS freed him. He’s currently being interrogated at the Headquarters, as he’s being investigated for alleged misappropriation of funds amongst other things during his term as CBN governor,” the source noted.
