An insider, familiar with the events, told TheCable that “unusual forex transactions” were found in his account, suggesting the promoters of the platform have been involved in illegal forex trading.

The apex bank is said to be investigating seven accounts belonging to Adedotun and abokiFX, vetting every forex transaction from 2019 till 2021.

Reports on social media claim that Adedotun is being investigated for foreign exchange rate manipulation, but another source within the bank said he could not confirm the rumours.

“There would be a lot more clarity after the next monetary policy committee (MPC) meeting tomorrow,” the source said.

AbokiFX, registered in Arizona, United States, is the 63rd most visited website in Nigeria as of September 16, 2021.

Godwin Emefiele, the governor of the CBN, will address the media on Friday to announce fresh MPC decisions.
