The Lagos and Abuja residences of the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr Godwin Emefiele, have been searched by officers of the Directorate of State Services, (DSS).
A family source of the detained technocrat, who asked not to be identified, spoke to THEWILL on Sunday and confirmed the searches.
The source said the Abuja residence was searched on Sunday, a day after his arrest, while the Lagos house was searched on Thursday evening, through Saturday morning, saying the men of the DSS left around 2 am with their detainee back to Abuja. The source said both the Abuja and Lagos residences still have a heavy presence of the operatives.
“In Lagos, they took away his old phones including a Blackberry, some files and office folders, as well as his old laptops. Godwin was present when the searches were conducted”, the source said.
