The suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, will not be prosecuted following his arrest by the Department of State Service (DSS), THE WHISTLER has been told.

Security and government sources have told this newspaper that Emefiele would be removed as CBN governor after his investigation.

The revelation followed controversies surrounding the arrest and detention of Emefiele after he was suspended from office on Friday evening.
