EXCLUSIVE: Tinubu’s Committee Uncovers N3Trillion COVID Loan Mismanagement by Ex-Central Bank Gov Emefiele
President Bola Tinubu’s special investigative committee has reportedly uncovered fresh allegations against former Central Bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele.
The committee, led by Jim Obazee, CEO of the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria, found that Emefiele allegedly misappropriated N3 trillion from COVID loans and the Anchor Borrowers’ Programme Fund. The committee aims to submit an interim report to President Tinubu to emphasize the seriousness of the financial crimes committed under Emefiele’s leadership.
In his Independence Anniversary speech, President Tinubu mentioned that the findings on past irregularities in the apex bank would be disclosed soon. Earlier reports suggested that Emefiele was set to be released from detention after reaching a plea bargain, but the Attorney General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi, denied any non-prosecution agreement. Emefiele is expected to face charges including conspiracy, procurement fraud, and other economic crimes.
The investigation also revealed alleged connections between Emefiele and a terror financier, as well as his purported involvement in terrorism financing and economic crimes, such as mismanagement of the CBN subsidiary, NISRAL, and the Anchor Borrowers’ Programme.
