The Department of State Services (DSS), on Thursday, denied reports that it arrested Aisha Ahmad, a former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) over alleged fraud.
Ahmad was accused of being involved in a fraudulent acquisition of shares in Polaris, Titan Trust, and Union banks.
The DSS also clarified that it did not arrest any current or former official of the apex bank in the last 48 hours.
It made the statement in a tweet posted on its official X handle (formerly Twitter).

The statement read:
“The DSS did not, in the last 48 hours, arrest any former or present official of the CBN.”
The CBN and some of its former senior officials have been under scrutiny since the apex bank’s former governor, Godwin Emefiele, was suspended and subsequently arrested.
Emefiele is being investigated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over alleged financial impropriety during his tenure under former President Muhammadu Buhari.
