The Department of State Services has revealed that the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, is now in its custody.

This comes hours after the Service initially denied arresting the erstwhile CBN governor.

President Bola Tinubu had on Friday night suspended Emefiele from his role at the apex bank and ordered him to handover the affairs of his office to the Deputy Governor (Operations Directorate), who will act as the CBN governor pending the conclusion of the investigation and the reforms.
