Emefiele: President Tinubu Closes Investigation Of Jim Obazee On CBN, Reveals Next Step

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has closed the investigation of Jim Obazee, the special investigator appointed to investigate the activities of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and other related entities.

This was made known in a statement on Friday by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale.

The statement noted that with the conclusion of Jim Obazee’s work, all relevant law enforcement and regulatory agencies are currently pursuing further action.

Recall that Obazee was appointed in the wake of the sack of Godwin Emefiele as the Governor of the CBN.

President Tinubu expressed gratitude to Obazee, the former Chief Executive Officer of the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria (FRC), for serving as the Special Investigator of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and other associated institutions after his appointment on July 28, 2023.

The President also appreciated Obazee’s commitment and expertise in managing the intricacies of this vital national task.

After completing the assignment and submitting a final detailed report, and wrapping up all equipment used within the project that ended on March 31, 2024, the investigation is officially closed, with all relevant law enforcement and regulatory agencies currently pursuing further action.
