The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Thursday arrested Ex-Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Professor Chukwuma Soludo in connection with the Australian polymer banknotes bribery scam.
A close relative of Mr. Soludo confirmed that operatives picked up the former CBN governor in Abuja at noon on Thursday.
A letter of invitation written by the EFCC to Soludo says Soludo was needed to make some clarifications on a matter under investigation. The letter invitation was dated 20th December 2012.
The letter says “This commission is investigating a case in which the need to obtain certain clarifications from you has become imperative.”
EFCC spokesperson could not be reached for confirmation of the arrest.
