Tinubu’s order was contained in a statement by the Director of Information, Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Willie Bassey.

Emefiele was subsequently instructed to transfer responsibilities of his office to the Deputy Governor (Operations Directorate), who will serve as the acting Central Bank Governor until investigations and necessary reforms are completed.
