Less than an hour after he was released by the Department of State Services (DSS), the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has detained the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele.
Punch reports that Emefiele is currently being interrogated at the National Headquarters of the anti-graft agency, Jabi, Abuja.
Operatives of the EFCC picked Emefiele up on Thursday night.
A source on Friday, revealed that EFCC is probing Emefiele 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.”
Reports say that fresh charges may be filed against Emefiele by the EFCC.
