The Department of State Services (DSS) has released the former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Godwin Emefiele.
Emefiele, who had been in the custody of the DSS since June, regained his freedom on Thursday night and was immediately picked up by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
According to sources, the former CBN governor is being interrogated, and there are indications that fresh charges will be filed against him.
The release of Emefiele by the DSS came just days after former EFCC boss, Abdulrasheed Bawa who was also held in detention for 134 days was freed.
In June, the secret police picked up the former CBN boss in Lagos and flew him to Abuja a day after he was suspended by President Bola Tinubu.
