Update: Emefiele now in our custody for investigation-DSS
The Department of State Services (DSS) has confirmed that Mr Godwin Emefiele, the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) is now in its custody for some investigative reasons.
The agency’s Public Relations Officer Mr Peter Afunanya urged the public, particularly the Media, to apply utmost caution in the reportage and narratives concerning the matter.
“The Department of State Services (DSS) hereby confirms that Mr Godwin Emefiele, the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) is now in its custody for some investigative reasons,” it said.
“The public, particularly the Media, is enjoined to apply utmost caution in the reportage and narratives concerning this.”
The revelation comes hours after the DSS refuted reports that Emefiele was in its custody.
Amid reports of the arrest widely shared online, Afunanya said in a terse statement on Saturday morning, “Currently, Emefiele is not with the DSS.”
