The erstwhile Senior Special Assistant to former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Laolu Akande, has called for a thorough probe of the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Mr Godwin Emefiele.
Akande said this on Saturday night, adding that the embattled CBN boss had failed to redeem himself, despite being “given a long rope and fair consideration.”
The PUNCH reports that President Bola Tinubu suspended the CBN governor on Friday in response to the ongoing investigation of his person and office and the planned reforms in the financial sector of the nation’s economy. Our correspondent gathered that Emefiele was arrested in Lagos and was airlifted to Abuja by operatives of the Department of State Security. He is currently being detained at the infamous headquarters of the secret police in the Federal Capital Territory, known as “Yellow House”.
Reacting to the development in a tweet on Saturday, Akande noted that it was high time the CBN governor faced an investigation.
