BREAKING: Emefiele Lands in EFCC Custody After Being Released by DSS | Daily Report Nigeria
SHARE

The former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele has reportedly landed in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The EFCC “picked up” Emefiele immediately after he was released from the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) on Thursday night.

A top security source disclosed that the Presidency directed the EFCC to take over the case on allegations of terrorism financing and fraud.

The source said:

“Emefiele regained his freedom last night, but he was immediately picked up by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.”

Following his arrest by the DSS in June on the same day he was suspended from office by President Bola Tinubu, he entered into a plea bargain with the federal government.

The Former CBN Governor agreed to return N50 billion which he “stole.”

However, Emefiele’s arraignment was reportedly delayed because the Attorney General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN) was awaiting Tinubu’s approval as he was out of the country at the time.

A statement regarding the bargain read:

“The exclusive deal has been finalised awaiting Tinubu’s order. Tinubu is expected back in Nigeria this weekend after a medical visit to France. The DSS traced N72 billion to a series of accounts which Emefiele had planned to use for his presidential run. Also, $70 million he hid with a couple who specialised in helping him to do round-tripping was discovered.”

The Spokesperson for the Ministry of Justice however stated that there was no non-prosecution plea bargain concerning Emefiele.
