The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has detained the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele.
Emefiele was picked up by EFCC operatives on Thursday night, as soon as he was released by the Department of State Services (DSS).
He is currently being interrogated at the National Headquarters of the anti-graft agency, Jabi, Abuja.
Raye24reporters reports that the EFCC is probing Emefiele over alleged impropriety during his term as the head of the apex bank.
“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,” a source noted.
Fresh charges may be filed against Mr Emefiele by the EFCC.
