The Department of State Services (DSS) has denied reports that its operatives broke into the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on Monday afternoon and detained its governor, Godwin Emefiele.
This was made known via the agency’s Twitter handle on Saturday, June 10, 2023.
The post read, “Currently, Emefiele is not with the DSS.”
According to Afunanya the CBN Governor is currently not with the service.
It will be recalled that the purported arrest of Emefiele shortly after being suspended from office by the President had been widely reported by some online media.
At the time of filing this report it is not clear whether he had been invited to appear before the DSS, which had earlier in the year wanted to move against him over unspecified reasons for investigation purpose.
