The Department of State Services (DSS) says the suspended Governor of Nigeria’s Central Bank, Godwin Emefiele, is not with the organisation.
News broke shortly after the suspension of Mr Emefiele by President Bola Tinubu on Friday evening that the top banker had been arrested by the DSS.
Emefiele, according to a statement from the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation signed by Willy Bassey on Friday, was suspended “sequel to the ongoing investigation of his office and the planned reforms in the financial sector of the economy.”
The security agency in a terse tweet on Saturday, however, did not confirm or deny Mr Emefiele’s arrest which was all over the media on Friday night. The statement said: “Currently, Emefiele is not with the DSS.”
