EFCC Detains Emefiele After Release From DSS Custody
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is currently detaining the ex-governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, in its custody.
Osun Defender gathered that Emefiele was picked up Thursday night by EFCC operatives and is currently being interrogated at the National Headquarters of the anti-graft agency, Jabi, Abuja.
According to a source, Emefiele is being probed by the EFCC over alleged impropriety during his term as the head of the apex bank.
The source said, “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 further said fresh charges may be filed against Emefiele by the EFCC.
