Aishah Ahmad, a Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, has spoken out about her reported arrest by the Department of State Services.
Daily Report Nigeria reports that there is an ongoing investigation into the activities of the CBN over alleged misappropriation.
As such, all senior officials of the apex nank are being interviewed by the secret police and an appointed special investigator.
Ahmad and other deputy governors are not exempted from the ongoing investigation exercise and have all been called upon to provide essential information at different points in time.
Sequel to reports of being arrested, a close family member of the deputy governor has clarified that the CBN Deputy Governor is safe and sound.
The source who pleaded anonymity, said Ahmad was only called up for interrogation and not detained as earlier reported in several sections of the media.
“I wish to reassure everyone that Aishah Ahmad is home with her family and not detained by the DSS. She is safe and sound.
“In these times, it is essential to maintain clarity and rely on verified information only. Mrs Ahmad’s cooperation with the authorities is a demonstration of her commitment to transparency and due process.
“It is crucial that the public exercise discretion when evaluating news reports and avoid engaging in unfounded rumours or misinformation,” the source told Nairametrics.
