The State Security Services (SSS) today invited two Directors
of the Central Bank of Nigeria for questioning over corruption allegations
against the ousted CBN Governor, Mr Lamido Sanusi.
The invitation to the two CBN Directors came a day after the Nigerian
President; Goodluck Jonathann ordered the withdrawal of the security detail of
the suspended CBN governor. Mr. Sanusi, who is believed to still be in Lagos since his
suspension from office.
A source at the Presidency revealed that the
interrogation of the Directors became necessary after it was discovered that
the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria (FRCN), whose report Mr. Jonathan
relied upon in suspending Mr. Sanusi, had accepted some N500 million from the
CBN and a few commercial banks to build an institute. Also, the council’s
executive Director, Jim Obazee, has a pending petition from an Abuja-based
Public Interest Lawyers League (PILL). The petition accuses Mr. Obazee of
sexually harassing a married Nigerian woman, Abimbola Patricia Yakubu.
The invited Directors will be interviewed by
the SSS Tomorrow.
