The recent disclosure of a report by Jim Obaze, a Special Investigator appointed by President Bola Tinubu to scrutinise the activities of former Central Bank Governor Godwin Emefiele, has sparked a wave of reactions across Nigeria.

The report alleges that Emefiele employed surrogates to obtain shares in a new-generation bank during his tenure at the helm of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). Submitted to President Tinubu on December 20, the report presents 17 grave allegations against Emefiele, shedding light on various financial irregularities.

The accusations against Emefiele encompass a spectrum of financial misdeeds, including unauthorised funding of 593 offshore bank accounts, fraudulent cash withdrawals from the CBN vault, gross financial misconduct involving the former governor and his Deputy Governors, and substantial fixed deposit holdings amounting to £543.4 million.

Furthermore, the report highlights manipulations in the Naira exchange rate, irregularities in the e-Naira project, unauthorised printing of new currency denominations, and substantial expenditures on dubious legal fees. Allegations also include fraudulent interventions, COVID-19-related irregularities, and misrepresentation of presidential approvals on various financial strategies.
