The past Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Professor Charles Soludo is back home after interrogation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in connection with an alleged N750million bribery.
The money was alleged to have been offered in the process of awarding the polymer contract for the printing of N20 notes.
Sources confirmed last night that he was grilled twice before he was granted bail yesterday. Some CBN officials were said to have received bribe from Securency International Pty for the purpose of getting the contract.
The Australian Federal Police (AFP) had earlier probed the alleged N750million bribe offered by Securency to win the contract.
According to findings, Soludo was asked to go late Friday-night after he had been quizzed for the second time. He wrote what a source described as a “useful statement.”
But the EFCC asked the former CBN Governor to “be ready to make himself available for more interrogation.”
A top source, who spoke in confidence, said: “We have interacted with Soludo but this is just the first part of the series of interrogation we are going to have with him.
“Soludo gave an insight into how the contract was awarded. We will cross-check his statement with those of other stakeholders.
