Although the removal was not made official by the Federal Government, it was gathered that Anamekwe was replaced with a former Director of Treasury Single Account (TSA), Mr Okolieaboh Ezeoke Sylvis.
It was further learnt that Anamekwe’s replacement followed allegations that he was being investigated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
According to reports, the acting AGF was sacked following his controversial statement that the government was borrowing to pay salaries.
He was appointed as acting AGF on May 22, 2022, pending the outcome of the EFCC investigation of the suspended AGF, Ahmad Idris.
