Emefiele arriving Ikoyi court, Lagos on Tuesday, July 25, 2023
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has detained the immediate past Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele.
It was gathered that Emefiele was arrested by the EFCC operatives on Thursday night shortly after he was released by the Department of State Services (DSS).
A credible source, on Friday, October 27, 2023, disclosed that the anti-graft agency 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,” the source told Punch.
It was further gathered that fresh charges may be filed against Emefiele by the EFCC.
Meanwhile, the EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, has yet to speak on the latest development as of press time.
Emefiele had been in the custody of the DSS since June after President Bola Tinubu suspended him from office.
However, Olayemi Cardoso has since been appointed as the CBN Governor.
