SSS Inv@des CBN, Takes Over Emefiele’s Office
The Central Bank of Nigeria’s headquarters have been invaded by SSS agents, who are now in control of the office of the bank’s troubled governor, Godwin Emefiele.
Source reports that there has been a running b@ttle between the SSS and Mr Emefiele over alleged terrorism financing.
The secret service had earlier sought a court order to arrest Mr Emefiele but has been out of the country for his annual leave which is expiring tomorrow, January 17.
But the FCT High Court had in December barred the SSS from arresting, inviting, or detaining Mr Emefiele.
Arriving at the CBN headquarters Monday noon, the SSS operatives came in with about 20 vehicles with armed personnel.
The operatives also barred all staff of the bank from gaining access to Mr Emefiele’s office.
Peter Afunanya, the SSS spokesperson, is yet to respond to the query sent to him by this reporter.
