Former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Godwin Emefiele has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
According to Punch, Emefiele is now being probed at the anti-graft agency’s National Headquarters in Jabi, Abuja.
The anti-graft operatives apprehended Emefiele on Thursday night, less than an hour after he was released by the Department of State Services.
According to a source who spoke with the platform on Friday, the EFCC is investigating Emefiele for alleged misconduct while he was the governor 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.”
According to another report, the EFCC may file new charges against Emefiele.
