BREAKING: Security Lockdown At Nigeria’s Apex Bank, CBN As DSS Moves To Search Emefiele’s Office
There is heavy security presence at the headquarters of Nigeria’s apex bank, Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, as operatives of the Department of State Security Service, (DSS), reportedly moved to search the office of the CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele.
BIGPEN NIGERIA (www.bigpenngr.com) understands that the premises is currently under lockdown from the operatives and other security personnel who mount guard at the apex bank.
Emefiele had been in a running battle with the DSS over unsubstantiated allegations that he was financing terrorism in the country.
Multiple reports say the secret police had earlier sought a court order to arrest Mr Emefiele who has been out of the country for his annual leave which is expiring tomorrow, January 17.
According to Daily Nigerian report, the FCT High Court had in December barred the SSS from arresting, inviting, or detaining Mr Emefiele.
“Arriving at the CBN headquarters Monday noon, the SSS operatives came in with about 20 vehicles with armed personnel.
“The operatives also barred all staff of the bank from gaining access to Mr Emefiele’s office.
Peter Afunanya, the SSS spokesperson, is yet to respond to the query sent to him”, according to the report.
