Godwin Emefiele: Travail of a loyal warden

Suspended governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, is certainly not ending his captaincy of the apex bank on a joyful note. His subsequent arrest by the Department of State Services (DSS), makes it even more so.

The secret police, according to sources, is likely to approach the court on Tuesday to obtain an order to keep him in its custody for as long as his interrogation will last. The DSS is said to have assembled a team of crack interrogators to quiz the embattled CBN boss on wide ranging issues, including alleged terrorism financing and mismanagement of the economy and the apex bank.
