The Department of State Services (DSS) has confirmed that the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Godwin Emefiele is now in its custody for some investigative reasons.
DSS Public Relations Officer, Peter Afunanya, in a statement, urged the public, particularly the media, to apply utmost caution in the reportage and narratives concerning this.
Emefiele was suspended “sequel to the ongoing investigation of his office and the planned reforms in the financial sector of the economy.”
This was disclosed in a statement signed by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume.
Following Emefiele’s suspension, Tinubu appointed Folashodun Adebisi Shonubi as the acting CBN governor.
