The Department of State Services appeared to have concluded all plans to obtain order from court to keep the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, in its custody for as long as his interrogation will last.

Competent sources confided in People’s Security Monitor that the State detectives are desirous to obtain court order for an indefinite period to allow for unfettered interrogation and investigation.

Recalled President Bola Tinubu had on Friday suspended Emefiele from office with immediate effect.

This was sequel to the ongoing investigation of his office and the planned reforms in the financial sector of the economy, according to a statement by the Director of Information, Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Willie Bassey.

According to the statement, Emefiele was directed to immediately hand over the affairs of his office to the Deputy Governor (Operations Directorate), Mr Folashodun Adebisi Shonubi, who will act as the CBN governor pending the conclusion of the investigation and the reforms.

 The suspended apex bank boss was arrested in Lagos on Saturday by DSS operatives and flown to Abuja in a private jet.
