ABUJA: Nigeria's president on Thursday suspended central bank governor Lamido Sanusi for alleged financial recklessness after Sanusi accused the state oil company of misappropriating $20 billion (14.5 billion euros) of public funds.
"Sanusi's tenure has been characterised by various acts of financial recklessness and misconduct," a presidency statement said. President Goodluck Jonathan has therefore "ordered the immediate suspension of... Lamido Sanusi from the Office of governor of the central bank of Nigeria."
