Following transfer from the custody of the Department of State Services, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission is reportedly in custody of former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele and may press multiple financial and economic charges against him.
It was gathered that the former CBN governor was formally handed over to the commission on Thursday night at the National Headquarters of the anti-graft agency, in Jabi, Abuja.
Shortly after taking custody of the former CBN governor, operatives of the EFCC reportedly questioned Emefiele on his handling of the apex bank operations and multiple financial issues.
Report gathered that Emefiele is been questioned on the award of contracts running into billions of Naira to some persons said to be close to the bank, the redesign of the Naira notes just before the last general election and the disbursement of over one point one trillion naira by the apex bank under the controversial Anchor Borrower’s Programme.
Meanwhile, the spokesperson for the EFCC, Dele Oyewale, could not be reached for official confirmation as at the time of filing this report.
