We didn’t invade CBN, says DSS
The Department of State Services (DSS) has described reports that its operatives invaded the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to arrest Godwin Emefiele, the CBN governor, as “fake news”.
There were reports on Monday across social media platforms that the DSS stormed the CBN headquarters to arrest Emefiele over allegations of terrorism financing.
But in a statement issued by Peter Afunanya, DSS spokesperson, the agency debunked the claims.
“The attention of the Department of State Services (DSS) has been drawn to the false news making the round that its operatives invaded the Central Bank of Nigeria and arrested its Governor, today 16/1/23. This is fake news and quite misleading,” the statement reads.
