The Department of State Services (DSS) has debunked reports that its operatives recently arrested any official of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
The DSS refuted the report in a statement on its X handle late Thursday night.
“The DSS did not, in the last 48 hours, arrest any former or present official of the CBN,” the statement read.

There were reports online that Aisha Ahmad, a former Deputy Governor of the CBN who was in charge of Financial System Stability, had been arrested by the DSS.
Ahmad was said to have been arrested and detained by the security services over the alleged fraudulent acquisition of shares in Polaris Bank and Titan Bank/Union Bank.
This reportedly includes the sum of $300 million to complete the acquisition of Union Bank, which was raised by Titan Bank.
