DSS has denied arresting Godwin Emefiele.
Glamtush reports that against the background that the suspended Central Bank (CBN) Governor, Godwin Emefiele had been detained, the Department of State Services (DSS) said on Saturday the top banker was not in its custody.
This online platform gathered that the Spokesman for the DSS Dr.Peter Afunanya, made the clarification in a mail to Vanguard.
Afunanya while responding to claims that the CBN Governor had been arrested by the secret police said, “Currently, Emefiele is not with the DSS.”
It will be recalled that the purported arrest of Emefiele shortly after being suspended from office by the President had been widely reported by some online media.
It is not clear whether he had been invited to appear before the agency, which had earlier in the year wanted to move against him over undisclosed reasons.
