In July, President Bola Tinubu appointed the special panel to conduct an investigation into the apex bank in the wake of the suspension, arrest, and prosecution of the former CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele. Emefiele faced allegations of financial misconduct, the award of multi-billion Naira and dollar contracts, as well as fraudulent activities.
