Investigator Faults Selective Prosecution in $6.23m CBN Theft Case
The Director of Public Prosecutions told the Abuja High Court that more than ten people linked to the alleged $6.23 million theft from the CBN’s Abuja branch must be prosecuted. Special Investigator Jim Obazee criticised why only former CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele is currently on trial, even though recovered funds and confessions implicate figures like ex-SGF Boss Mustapha, Emefiele’s aide and others. Obazee also highlighted a signed authorisation letter and urged that all involved—living or deceased—be held to account to deter corruption and restore public trust. Justice Hamza Muazu adjourned the matter until October 20, 2026.
