In a letter dated 28 July and signed by the president, Jim Obazee’s appointment was stated with immediate effect and described as in furtherance of President Tinubu’s administration’s anti-corruption fight. The special investigator Jim Obazee is to report directly to the president. It comes amid the investigation and probe of former CBN governor Godwin Emefiele who was suspended by President Tinubu in June. He was granted bail and subsequently remanded at a correctional centre.
