Even in a country where untold oil wealth disappears into the pockets of the elite, the oil corruption scheme he was investigating seemed outsize \u2014 and he threatened to lay it bare at a meeting with Nigeria\u2019s top bankers.<\/p>\n

The rabble-rouser was none other than the governor of the country\u2019s central bank. Weeks later, however, he was out, fired by Nigeria\u2019s president in an episode that has shaken the Nigerian economy, filled newspapers and airwaves here, and even inspired a rare street demonstration.<\/p>\n

The bankers were going to have to open their books, the governor, Lamido Sanusi, warned them at the recent meeting. He wanted to see where the money was going \u2014 $20 billion from oil sales that, mysteriously, was not making its way to the treasury, in a country that could soon be declared Africa\u2019s biggest economy and already attracts the most direct foreign investment on the continent, according to the United Nations.<\/p>\n

But his suspicions were cutting too close, Mr. Sanusi said \u2014 too close to an oil-politics nexus that both feeds the political establishment in Nigeria, in his view and that of analysts, and deprives the country of vital revenue.<\/p>\n

The charge of missing oil money is not new in Nigeria. In recent years, government commissions, parliamentary inquiries and civil society groups have all pointed to serious shortfalls in the disbursement of oil revenues. Their findings have been ignored.<\/p>\n

This time, the accusations appear not to be going away: Never before has an official at Mr. Sanusi\u2019s level made them.<\/p>\n

In interviews here, Mr. Sanusi gave a detailed account of the events that he said led to his ouster on Feb. 20, a dismissal that continues to depress the country\u2019s currency and frighten investors. He said his warning to the bankers had been reported straight back to the threatened seat of power in the country\u2019s capital, Abuja.<\/p>\n

It was too much, he said. With his accusations, which outside analysts consider credible, the soft-spoken, bow-tied central banker appeared to have penetrated to the heart of the country\u2019s entrenched corruption problem.<\/p>\n

In 2009, Mr. Sanusi took aim at Nigeria\u2019s failing banking sector, shutting down fraudulent banks, uncovering theft that led to an unprecedented conviction, and earning trust in international financial markets. He was named central bank governor of the year by The Banker magazine in 2011, and is a suited-up member of his country\u2019s establishment, as an heir to the position of emir in the ancient northern city of Kano, one of Nigeria\u2019s highest-status designations.<\/p>\n

But then he began taking on the government oil agency, which determines whether oil-dependent Nigeria rises or falls. Specifically, he accused the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation \u2014 the agency that buys, sells, regulates and produces the country\u2019s oil \u2014 of not turning over earnings to the country\u2019s central bank. The country is Africa\u2019s largest oil exporter, oil prices were steady or rising, yet Nigeria\u2019s financial reserves were falling. It was a mystery. The money was missing. Mr. Sanusi said he feared an eventual collapse of Nigeria\u2019s currency.<\/p>\n

Backed by calculations, he presented his findings to a Nigerian Senate committee early in February. \u201cA substantial amount of money has gone,\u201d Mr. Sanusi said in an interview at the mansion reserved for the country\u2019s central banker, which he will soon have to leave. \u201cI wasn\u2019t just talking about numbers. I showed it was a scam.\u201d<\/p>\n

At a time when political energy in Africa\u2019s most populous country is focused on next year\u2019s elections \u2014 and staying in power is costly for a governing party that functions as a patronage machine \u2014 Mr. Sanusi knew exactly which interests he had menaced, he said. He had been warned to \u201ccool down.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy making N.N.P.C. an issue now, the source of money for financing elections is threatened,\u201d Mr. Sanusi said, referring to the petroleum corporation. \u201cIf this is stopped, there will be no money to finance the elections.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the other hand, if it was not stopped, the risk to Nigeria\u2019s economy was grave, the central banker suggested. \u201cIt was critical that we stop this hemorrhage,\u201d he said. \u201cOtherwise, we can\u2019t maintain stability. Reserves had gone way down. We would watch the naira collapse,\u201d he said of the nation\u2019s currency.<\/p>\n

Alarmed, Mr. Sanusi said, he went in front of Nigeria\u2019s top banking heads for a semimonthly meeting on Feb. 11 and \u201cthreatened to open the books of the bankers, to trace the money.\u201d He suspected some were laundering stolen oil money.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of them were not giving information about their accounts,\u201d the central banker said. \u201cI told them I would order a special examination.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the bankers at the meeting said, referring to the Central Bank of Nigeria, \u201cHe made it clear to them that the C.B.N. would need to unravel what was going on, and they should cooperate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Many of the bankers became angry. \u201cOne of us said, \u2018What next?\u2019 \u201c a second banker said. \u201cThere was a general heaviness. He spoke tough.\u201d Both bankers requested anonymity.<\/p>\n

Panicked, several of the bankers went straight to the government, Mr. Sanusi said. Two of the bankers \u2014 he would not identify them \u2014 \u201cwent and reported to the petroleum minister,\u201d he said. And at that moment, his days were numbered.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe strategy of the government was to discredit the messenger,\u201d he said. The Nigerian president \u201cdoesn\u2019t want me to bring out any more information that would get them into trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Sanusi\u2019s account is \u201cuntrue,\u201d a spokesman for President Goodluck Jonathan said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Sanusi has been making all kinds of claims to project himself as a victim,\u201d the spokesman, Reuben Abati, said in an email, accusing the former bank governor of \u201cfinancial recklessness, abuse of mandate, incompetence and criminal acts of negligence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Sanusi has not been charged with any crimes, and the most Mr. Jonathan held him responsible for in a series of counteraccusations that emerged after the bank governor raised an alarm over the oil money was having perhaps \u201csidestepped civil-service rules.\u201d<\/p>\n

Outside analysts appear to be in large agreement that Mr. Sanusi\u2019s claim of vast missing oil revenues is plausible.<\/p>\n

Nigeria\u2019s state oil sales \u201cfeature undue complexity, extensive discretion and well-documented flaws,\u201d Revenue Watch, a group focused on natural-resource management, wrote in an examination of the central banker\u2019s declarations. \u201cIn such a system, the line between mismanagement and corruption is difficult to draw, as shortcomings in process often benefit specific private interests.\u201d<\/p>\n

One such \u201cshortcoming\u201d was laid bare by Mr. Sanusi last month to the parliamentary committee: a phony subsidy on kerosene that he determined to be a racket, costing the Nigerian treasury billions of dollars and greatly benefiting what he called a \u201csyndicate\u201d of marketers and unknown others. Mr. Sanusi showed that any official subsidy on kerosene had long since been abolished, that the petroleum corporation was nonetheless selling kerosene to marketers at less than a third of its purchase price on the international market and that the Nigerian marketers were then selling kerosene to the public at prices 300 to 500 percent above what they had paid for it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just a big scam,\u201d Mr. Sanusi said in the interview. \u201cThe amount is shared by a cabal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though his official term would have ended in June anyway, Mr. Sanusi said, he is challenging his removal in court. In a judiciary that is only lightly insulated from political pressure, the outcome is uncertain, though perhaps not with the wider public. One of the bankers at the Feb. 11 meeting said: \u201cFor me personally, I don\u2019t think there\u2019s anything wrong with the position he has taken. We are Nigerians. We owe it to this country that things are run properly.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of Nigeria\u2019s leading activists, Tunde Bakare, a founder of the pro-democracy organization Save Nigeria Group, said: \u201cThis is going to be tried in the court of public opinion. We can\u2019t wish this matter away. Twenty billion dollars is not going to go away overnight.\u201d<\/p>\n
