It seems the whereabout of the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, (CBN) Godwin Emefiele, is still shrouded in secret as the Department of State Services, (DSS) disclosed that he is not with them.

Emefiele’s suspension was announced Friday night by the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, in a statement in Abuja.

DSS made the clarification via the agency’s Twitter handle on Saturday, June 10, 2023.

The post read, “Currently, Emefiele is not with the DSS.”

President Bola Tinubu suspended Emefiele from office with immediate effect on Friday night.

Following his suspension, Emefiele was directed to immediately hand over the affairs of his office to the Deputy Governor (Operations Directorate), who will act as the CBN governor pending the conclusion of the investigation and the reforms.
