President Bola Tinubu has appointed a special investigator Jim Obazee to probe the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and Related Activities.

This was contained in a letter signed by the President and addressed to the Chief Executive Officer of the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria (FRCN) Obazee.

The development is coming just as Emefiele is undergoing trial. While Emefiele has since his suspension being in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS), a court last week granted him bail and was however, rearrested by the secret police.

Emefiele has pleaded not guilty to the charges he is facing, bothering on the illegal possession of firearms and ammunition filed against him by the Federal Government.
