Suspended CBN Gov, Sanusi to face probe panel tomorrow
By Adetokunbo Fakeye
The suspended governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr Lamido Sanusi, is expected to appear before the probe panel of the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria (FRC) on Thursday.
Other CBN staff expected to be present at the probe session are the CBN Acting Governor Dr Sarah Alade, former CBN Deputy Governor, Operations, Tunde Lemo and six others.
The FRC is investigating the activities of the CBN for financial years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012.
Mr Sanusi was suspended on February 20 by President Goodluck Jonathan for alleged financial recklessness.
He has, however, dragged the government to court, saying it lacks power to remove him and has also approached the court for an order that would restrict anti-graft agencies from arresting him.
