DSS Discovers 18 Bags of Currency and Documents in Suspended CBN Governor’s Residence

a shocking turn of events, operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) have reportedly seized 18 Ghana-must-go bags filled with money and documents from the residence of the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele. This significant development comes after a thorough search conducted at Emefiele’s Lagos residence, lasting for an entire day.

Sources indicate that the search, carried out on Friday afternoon, resulted in the recovery of a substantial amount of currency and important documents. The operation follows Emefiele’s arrest by the DSS on June 10, and he has since remained in the agency’s custody for the past eight days.

While initial reports suggested that Emefiele’s detention might be of short duration, the investigation into his activities during his tenure as the head of the apex bank seems to be far from complete. According to reliable information, the DSS obtained a court order on Thursday, granting them permission to detain the former CBN chief for three weeks. There are indications that his detention might be extended further.
