A special investigator appointed by the President of Nigeria, Bola Tinubu, has requested the International Police Agency that is Interpol to monitor an employee of the Central Bank of Nigeria CBN and two other people.
The decision came after the discovery of some fake documents in the name of former President Muhammadu Buhari alleging the theft of six million and two hundred thousand dollars before the 2023 general election.
