“Emefiele, now in DSS Custody. The Department of State Services (DSS) hereby confirms that Mr Godwin Emefiele, the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) is now in its custody for some investigative reasons.

“The public, particularly the Media, is enjoined to apply utmost caution in the reportage and narratives concerning this”, the tweet read.

A video circulating on the internet showed how the suspended governor of the CBN was flown in while operatives of the agency ushered him into a private aircraft.

This newspaper had earlier reported that Emefiele was in the custody of the DSS contrary to claims by the latter that the former was “currently” not in its custody.

Sources knowledgeable about the situation told THE WHISTLER that the denial by the DSS was part of the plot to relieve Emefiele of his duties at the Apex bank.
