Former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, is presently under custody at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
According to The PUNCH, Emefiele is currently undergoing interrogation at the National Headquarters of the anti-graft agency in Jabi, Abuja.
He was apprehended by EFCC operatives on Thursday night, less than an hour after his release from the Department of State Services.
It is being gathered that the EFCC is conducting an inquiry into alleged misconduct during Emefiele’s tenure as the head of the central bank.
This development was confirmed by a source who stated, “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.
