EFCC arrests Godwin Emefiele, 1 Hour After His Release from DSS Detention-Reports

The immediate past Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, is currently being detained in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Media reports say that Emefiele, who is currently being interrogated, was picked up by EFCC operatives Thursday night, less than an hour after he regained his freedom from the detention of the Department of State Services.

A source revealed the development to newsmen on Friday morning.

“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”.

However, the report is yet to be confirmed by the EFCC.
