Amid DSS ordeals, Buhari meets Emefiele in Abuja

'I am grateful you are well received,” the Nigerian president said.

President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday met with the embattled governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria , Godwin Emefiele, as the interest of concerned parties in the banking sector heightens over the fate of the nation’s topmost banker.

Mr Emefiele joined a delegation of the Arab Bank for Economic Development led by its Director General, Sidi Tah, to the state house. The apex bank chief was reportedly received by Mr Buhari, who welcomed him back to the country. On Monday, PREMIUM TIMES reported how the apex bank announced that Mr Emefiele was back in the country and had resumed duty amid report of DSS invasion of the CBN headquarters in Abuja.

But the SSS, in a statement signed by its spokesperson, Peter Afunnaya, said the reports are “fake and misleading.” He explained that the depositions in the affidavit filed by the SSS in support of its application “purport that preliminary investigation has revealed various acts of terrorism financing, fraudulent activities perpetrated by the respondent and his involvement in economic crimes of national security dimension.”
