The DSS has arrested the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Godwin Emefiele

The DSS has stated that Godwin Emefiele, who is in charge of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), has been arrested and is being held.

Friday night, there were a lot of rumors that the security forces were going to arrest Emefiele. However, the agency denied this at the time. That has to do with not putting him in jail, which they haven't done yet.

But the agency has now stated that he has been arrested and is being held.

In a statement, the DSS asked reporters and people talking about the problem to be careful and stressed the need for honest and trustworthy journalism.

Peter Afunaya, a spokesman for the DSS, stated that the suspended CBN governor had been arrested and detained, which added more proof to the story.

People are talking about this, and some people are wondering why Emefiele was arrested.

While the investigation is still going on, the public is looking for more information from both the State Department and the agencies involved.

So far, the exact reasons why Emefiele was taken into custody have not been made public. People who pay attention to Nigeria's politics could see that the government tried to explain to the public why he was caught and what the results of the investigation were.

People in the country are waiting for this story to move forward, hoping that it will be handled in an honest and trustworthy way.

Godwin Emefiele recently made a name for himself when he changed the shape of Nigerian currency notes in October 2022. The new bills have the numbers 200, 500, and 1000 on them, which put pressure on the people in the kitchen.

Just as Emefiele took over as governor of the central bank when Sanusi Lamido Sanusi was fired, President Tinubu fired Emefiele as soon as the news came out from the presidential house in Abuja.

This was said in a message that the agency posted on Twitter on Saturday.

Godwin Emefiele's job as Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) was taken away by President Bola Tinubu on Friday night, effective right away. Emefiele has been told to hand over control of his office to Adebisi Shonubi, who is the deputy governor in charge of operations management. Shonubi will be the acting governor of the Central Bank of the CBN while the probe and reforms take place.
