The development followed the report of the special investigator who had accused the former CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele, of acquiring banks through proxies.

It would be recalled that the investors in Titan Trust Bank failed to honour an invitation to a meeting with the investigator on the acquisition of Union Bank.

The investors were invited by Obazee to explain the source of the $500 million used to acquire Union Bank.
