Recent reports indicating the arrest of CBN Deputy Governor Aishah Ahmad by the DSS have been debunked as untrue. This clarification is based on official information obtained by Nairametrics from sources closely connected to the Deputy Governor.
In light of the ongoing investigation into the operations of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), all senior officials of the CBN, including the Deputy Governors, are being interviewed by the DSS and the appointed special investigator. This process is a routine procedure designed to assist the ongoing inquiry, as the sources have conveyed.
In a phone conversation with a close family member of the Deputy Governor who is not authorized to comment on this matter, it was confirmed and emphasized that the Deputy Governor is safe and unharmed.
Additionally, an aide to the Deputy Governor offered the following explanation: “I want to assure everyone that Aishah Ahmad is at home with her family and has not been detained by the DSS. She is in good health.”
“In these times, it is crucial to maintain clarity and rely on verified information exclusively. Mrs. Ahmad’s cooperation with the authorities underscores her commitment to transparency and adherence to due process.”
“It is essential for the public to exercise caution when evaluating news reports and avoid participating in baseless rumours or spreading misinformation.”
“The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) plays a critical role in the country’s economic stability, and it is imperative that the investigative process is allowed to proceed without interference.”
It is worth noting that the top leadership of the Central Bank is currently under investigation, following the suspension and detention of Governor Godwin Emefiele by the State Security Service (DSS).
