EX-CBN CHIEF,PROF.SOLUDO HAS BEEN GRANTED BAIL!

Embattled former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Prof. Charles Soludo who has been in EFCC net since Thursday has been granted bail by the Anti-corruption agency.

He was arrested on Thursday over alleged complicity in the Australian polymer banknotes bribery scandal estimated at over N750m.

EFCC was said to have asked the former apex bank Boss  to drop his diplomatic passport and to produce two sureties who must be senior federal civil servants not below the level of permanent secretaries or directors.

A source from the commission who spoke to Nigeria’s Punch Newspaper said “The former CBN governor was eventually allowed to go yesterday (Thursday) night. I think he left around that time you people left.

“He was waiting for journalists to go and immediately you people left, he sneaked out. But that is not the end because he is also expected back for further interrogation.

“I don’t have much details on the other 12 ex-staff members of the CBN and the Nigerian Security Printing and Minting Company, who were linked with the scandal; it is not as if the suspects are here. But a number of them have been questioned over time and they are from NSPMC and CBN, they are not in our station at the moment.”
