*As CBN Gov resumes duty
The Department of State Services (DSS) has denied reports making the rounds that its operatives on Monday invaded tye Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to arrest its Governor, Godwin Emefiele.
This was disclosed in a statement by DSS spokesperson, Peter Afunanya, in Abuja, who added that the report of the invasion is fake news and misleading.
Recall that some online publications had earlier reported that the DSS had stormed the CBN headquarters and barred all staff from gaining access to Emefiele’s office.
Denying the reports, Afunanya said, “the attention of the Department of State Services (DSS) has been drawn to the false news making the rounds that its operatives invaded the Central Bank of Nigeria and arrested its Governor, today 16/1/23.
“This is fake news and quite misleading.”
Meanwhile, the CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele, has resumed duty after his annual vacation abroad.
Emefiele, who proceeded on an annual leave in December 2022, resumed work this Monday, January 16, 2023.
CBN spokesman, Osita Nwasinobi, said “the governor resumed with renewed vigour to perform his duty” ahead of the first Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting of the year scheduled for January 23 to 24, 2023.
