The suspension is allegedly directly tied to a staggering $1 billion scandal that unfolded just before the inauguration.
Thus newspaper learned that Suspicions arose after Emefieleâs borrowing of $1 billion from Afrexim Bank on April 24, 2023 after the elections, during preparations for the May 29 inauguration.
Shockingly, within two days of receiving the money, $750 million was swiftly transferred to Aliko Dangoteâs Dubai accounts using a Form A. . >
It is alleged that the President-Elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, was kept in the dark about this transaction.
Sources within the CBN claim that Emefiele sold dollars to Dangote at an unbelievably low rate of 445 Naira to the dollar. 1 billion dollars was received from Afrexim Bank into the CBNâs JP Morgan account on April 24, 2023, out of which 750 million dollars was immediately transferred to Dangoteâs Bluestar Dubai account within two days using the âForm Aâ transaction method, bypassing the requirement of a Letter of Credit.
Bluestar has had ties to Dangote since 2007.

Recognizing the gravity of the situation, the President took decisive action by suspending Emefiele and ordering a thorough investigation. CONTINUE READING FULL GIST ON EMEFIELE SUSPENSION>>>>
