The former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, is in hot water as he is being grilled by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over alleged financial misconduct during his tenure at the helm of the apex bank.

Emefiele was whisked away by the EFCC operatives on Thursday night, shortly after he was released by the Department of State Services (DSS), Punch reports.

A source close to the EFCC told Punch that Emefiele is being questioned at the EFCC National Headquarters in Jabi, Abuja, over various allegations of impropriety, including misappropriation of funds.

The source said, “Emefiele is in our custody; he was arrested last night soon after the DSS let him go.
