This is according to a statement by the Public Relations Officer (PRO), Peter Afunanya, on Saturday.
“The Department of State Services (DSS) hereby confirms that Mr Godwin Emefiele, the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) is now in its custody for some investigative reasons,” it said.
“The public, particularly the Media, is enjoined to apply utmost caution in the reportage and narratives concerning this.”
This comes hours after the DSS has denied widespread claims that Emefiele was in its custody.
Reports of Emefiele’s arrest were widely shared online, moments after his suspension was made public on Friday evening.
