The Department of State Services (DSS) has stated that the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, is not currently in its custody. Reports of Emefiele’s arrest circulated shortly after his suspension by President Bola Tinubu.
Emefiele’s suspension was attributed to the ongoing investigation of his office and planned reforms in the financial sector, as stated in a release by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume. Additionally, Tinubu appointed Mr. Folashodun Adebisi Shonubi as the acting Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria.
