DSS Arrests Kingsley Obiora, CBN Deputy Governor - People's Gazette by References1: 1:43pm On Sep 01, 2023
The State Security Service has arrested Kingsley Obiora, the deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria in charge of economic policy, Peoples Gazette can report.

Mr Obiora has now spent four nights in custody under questioning by the security service, which has been looking into allegations of financial mismanagement under Godwin Emefiele, the ousted governor.

Mr Emefiele, who was first appointed as CBN governor in June 2014, has been in SSS since June 10, 2023, a day after he was controversially removed from office by President Bola Tinubu.


While two federal judges have ordered Mr Emefiele’s release, the SSS has continued to find other grounds to hold him in custody, often filing fresh charges to supersede earlier ones for which the top banker had been arraigned.

A source familiar with Mr Obiora’s arrest said he was being targeted as a principal witness against his boss, although The Gazette has asked other sources to corroborate this. Another top CBN official Abbas Masanawa was arrested recently and held in custody, as officials seek to determine the steepness of Mr Emefiele’s alleged corruption.

The Gazette did not promptly hear back from the SSS and CBN about Mr Obiora’s detention, which officials said was not entirely unexpected given his knowledge of CBN’s policy decisions.

Mr Obiora, born March 6, 1976, was a policy chief at the International Monetary Fund and advised former finance minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. He was also an adviser to Mr Emefiele until March 2, 2020, when he was confirmed to his current position as one of CBN’s four deputy governors.

Mr Tinubu, in late July, appointed a special investigator to probe the CBN and other federal agencies suspected of long fostering a culture of public graft. Jim Osayande Obazee resumed work in early August at CBN, officials said.

They jumped the Yoruba acting CBN governor that has disrupted the already damaged economy with his trial by error policies, to arrest a deputy governor.

Ole gbe Ole gba set of people, he should exposed Emefiele crimes more. I’m asking here, how much has Tinubu government saved so far since the fuel subsidy since last May? Tinubu government isn’t to be trusted too. It’s Hypocritical for Tinubu to subject Nigerians to Poverty - Pastor Tunde Bakare

Tinubu is wicked in his government, Tinubu’s government is liberal and hypocritical to subject Nigerians to Extreme poverty.

IF true(because the probability of useless outfits like People's Gazette and Sahara Reporters fabricating or twisting stories is about 90%),then the optics of it is not good.
The present guy was also a former deputy CBN governor,so how can you arrest one and skip the other?It makes it look like something with a tribal configuration because Emefiele,though from Delta,has affiliations to the Igbos.
But as I said,even if he was questioned,it may not be anything near to what Shitty Gazette has made it out to be

SSS has taken over the job of the EFCC. Buhari killed EFCC the day he sacked Magu, because since then, EFCC went back to chasing yahoo boys and girls whilst leaving the big criminals to enjoy our stolen commonwealth.
