The Department of State Security Service, DSS has reportedly arrested the Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, in charge of Financial System Stability, Aisha Ahmad.
The secret police apprehended Ahmad over her alleged involvement in the acquisition of shares in Polaris Bank, Titan Bank/Union Bank.
According to reports making the rounds, Aisha is also being interrogated on how $300 million was raised by Titan Bank to complete the acquisition of Union Bank in 2022.
Speaking on the development, DSS spokesman, Peter Afunanya, told Channels Television that he cannot confirm or deny that Ahmad is in their custody or has been invited for questioning.
The details of the arrest are still sketchy, as the secret police and the apex bank have not reacted to the reports.
This is coming about three months after DSS arrested the suspended CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele
