Staff, especially senior officials, of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) are now living in fear following the detention of the apex bank’s deputy governor in charge of Economic Policy, Obiora Kingsley, by the Department of State Services (DSS) over the ongoing investigation of the suspended governor Godwin Emefiele.
Emefiele has been in DSS detention since his suspension from office in June over his management of the nation’s resources during his tenure.
Security sources confirmed to The Nation yesterday in Abuja that Obiora was “invited as part of an ongoing investigation.”
“Investigation is a large and continuous process and wherever an investigation leads should be followed,” one of the sources said.
He added: “Whoever an investigation leads to has to be invited to answer questions as the probe pertains to such person.”
The source declined to elaborate saying: “all I can say is that he was invited for questioning over an ongoing investigation.”
Spokesman of the Service, Dr Peter Afunanya, declined to respond to our questions on the matter.
Some other sources said the Jim Obaze led Special Panel investigating the Emefiele years in the CBN might use Obiora as a witness against the suspended bank chief.
