Nigeria's President Bola Tinubu has appointed a Special Investigator, Jim Obazee, to probe the activities of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and related entities. The appointment is part of President Tinubu's administration's anti-corruption efforts. Obazee will report directly to the president. The appointment comes amid the ongoing investigation and probe of former CBN governor Godwin Emefiele, who was suspended by President Tinubu in June. Emefiele has been charged with illegal possession of firearm and ammunition and has pleaded not guilty. Analysts believe Emefiele's troubles may be linked to the CBN's actions prior to the February elections.
