The Department of State Services (DSS) has reportedly arrested the Chief Executive Officer of the Nigeria Incentive-Based Risk Sharing System for Agricultural Lending (NIRSAL),Abbas Umar Masanawa, for his alleged role in the ongoing corruption probe of the Central Bank of Nigeria.
Masanawa’s arrest stemmed from his role as the managing director of Nigerian Security Printing and Minting Company. A source familiar with the arrest said: “He was conspiring with Godwin Emefiele to loot the printing and minting agency. We are still tracing billions they stole.”
He resigned from NSPMC after he contested the Kastina governorship primary election of the All Progressives Congress (APC) while still in office as the nation’s printing and minting boss.
