The former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, has refuted claims that he opened 593 foreign bank accounts.
Emefiele stated this in a statement on Sunday titled, “Re; Emefiele, other stole billions, illegally kept Nigeria’s funds in foreign banks” in response to the publication of the report of the Private Investigator into the affairs of the CBN, Jim Obazee.

In the leaked report, Obazee claimed that Emefiele opened 593 accounts in different parts of the world and bought three commercial banks in the country.

But according to the statement, Emefiele said he is not involved in the opening of the foreign accounts and he does not have knowledge of their openings.

The former CBN Governor asserted that fixed deposits in those foreign accounts are definitely outside his knowledge, adding that the relevant departments of the CBN have the authority to carry out such activities in line with their lawful mandate within the apex bank.

Emefiele, therefore, demanded a thorough and transparent investigation of the alleged frauds and has asked lawyers to immediately commence a legal process to clear my name from the defamatory statements contained in the report.

He said: “The final issue that I will like to respond to is the issue of the 593 accounts which were purportedly opened in different parts of the world. I state categorically that I am not involved in the opening of these accounts and I do not have knowledge of their openings. The fixed deposits in those foreign accounts are definitely outside my knowledge.

“However, let me state clearly, that the relevant departments of the CBN have the authority to carry out such activities in line with their lawful mandate within the CBN.

“I therefore join well-meaning Nigerians who have spoken on this matter and have demanded a thorough and transparent investigation of all these alleged frauds.

“Meanwhile, I have instructed my lawyers to immediately commence the legal process to clear my name from the defamatory statements contained in the report and by extension the publications.”

DonFreshmoney:
This man never talk through... I have and know the insider dealings that happened in CBN especially during the last 3 years of Emiefele regime. There is no way he doesn't have a hand and doesn't know about the account opened. From my screenshot I even said there is no top director in any of the departments in CBN that's not a Billionaire.. apart from opening foreign accounts, he opened shell companies with each Department Director of CBN as Directors of the company. For instance, NESI Stabilization strategy company ltd that is meant to provide funds and support to our electricity in the country was opened, he is the chairman and one Dr Olaitan (Ex director of Development Finance Department in CBN is the only Director)
Just both of them handle billions of Naira worth of contract for NESI ltd..

Emiefele is a fraudster...

DomPerignon:
Bollocks!

Rumours of secret bank accounts opened by the CBN were floating around in mid 2022.

How can he as CBN governor claim ignorance of such massive cash flows from the treasury to over 500 offshore accounts?

Tomorrow the liar will carry big Bible enter court.

Propaganda did not save Buhari. We are witnesses to his monumental failure. Tinubu has followed the same evil part of media frenzy and unfounded Propaganda. His failure will drive Nigerians into a bloody revolution. This I have seen.

DomPerignon:



So the Obaze led Special investigative report is propaganda as well?

Pls , whatever you guys do, don't stop supporting IPOB, Kanu, Ukraine, Pissrael and Emefile .


Your badluck is a potent weapon against the enemies of humanity.

GoodofNaija:

That is the fact he has told you.

The path of propaganda you have embatked upon will do your druglord and drug team no good .

Nigerians know your party is a gang of shameless looters.

Look what you have turned Nigeria into in just 8 years. Is it IPOB that made your govt useless?

Criminal yoruba muslims!

DomPerignon:

I am sure he will appreciate the badluck

Didijiji:
APC script Playing out well

They played Dasuki corrupt script during Buhari’s regime to keep the masses busy while they trying to figure out what governance means

Now they are more confused and the script is Emefiele

Nigerians watch as dollar hits 1.5k

GoodofNaija:

You should even be ashamed of the pissful religion you represent. It is nothing but a cancer to the world as it is to Nigeria.

Enugurangers:
Igbos love Emefiele because he is Igbo.

And ganduje that was caught on live camera collecting bribe is walking free...

This is our country Nigeria is very very dubious that's why some EU nations don't take us serious especially in matters concerning international politics

DomPerignon:


Emefile remains a card carrying member of the APC.

He even bought their presidential form and was looking for a crooked court ruling to allow him participate in the primaries while still retaining his position as CBN governor.


Why are you fools ignoring this fact ?

If anything you should be happy that it's APC dog eat APC dog.


You guys will never get sense until you stop whining like some immature teenage girls.
