The fact that Godwin Emefiele has been immediately
suspended from his position as governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) by
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is no longer a breaking news story.
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation's
(SGF) office suspended him on Friday, according to a statement released by the
SGF office and signed by Willie Bassey, Director of Information.
He claims that an investigation being conducted by
Emefiele's office is what led to the suspension.
Emefiele was swiftly arrested by Nigeria's State
Security Service (SSS), the country's secret police, according to Al-Labeeb
Media, after being suspended from office.
This news source also learned that the DSS had
assembled a group of skilled interrogators to question Emefiele about a variety
of topics, including:
The following are a few of the subjects the
investigators will question the former CBN governor about:
- issues with loans to farmers under the Fadama programme totaling
billions of naira.
- the contentious Polaris Bank sale,
- Finance for the Indigenous People of Biafra in Terrorism
- allegations possibly involving currency fraud.
- fiscal policies of the CBN, including how the naira redesign policy
was handled.
Emefiele was a very unpopular governor in Nigeria,
according to many citizens who believe that his tenure as governor was marked
by a number of transgressions and errors.
