Nigeria has appealed to Interpol for assistance in apprehending three suspects accused of orchestrating a $6.2 million theft from the central bank. The funds were reportedly siphoned using forged signatures, including that of former President Muhammadu Buhari. Authorities suspect collusion between the suspects and Nigeria’s former central bank chief, Godwin Emefiele. Emefiele, already facing trial on 20 charges, including the illicit receipt of the stolen funds, maintains his innocence while out on bail. The trial marks a significant anti-corruption effort under President Bola Tinubu’s administration, which began last May. Prosecutors assert that Emefiele unlawfully authorized the release of funds from the central bank vault. Emefiele vehemently denies these allegations, labelling them as fabrications aimed at tarnishing his reputation.
