A source quoted by the newspaper on Friday said the former CBN governor was immediately taken into custody by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
“Yes, Emefiele is currently in our (EFCC) custody; he was arrested last night less than an hour after the DSS freed him,” the source said.
