Evans claims she previously reported Wilhelm for photographing and recording the team while they were changing without consent. Several reports against Wilhelm were disregarded by the US Olympic committees, and the doctor was never investigated for his alleged behavior.

The lawsuit draws parallels to the abuse committed by Dr. Larry Nassar against the US gymnastics team. The lawyer who represented the victims of Nassar in court, Michelle Simpson Tuegel, will be representing Evans in this case.

According to a CBN source who spoke on condition of anonymity, "the CBN DG just like other officials participated in the ongoing routine interviews as part of a larger investigation into activities of the former CBN Governor by the DSS and the Special Investigator."
He further disclosed that the contents and subjects of such interview processes are wide-ranging and beyond the realm of public gossip or speculation.
He added that it is important for Journalists to know that not every visit by a Nigerian to the facility of a security agency is an arrest and not every time spent is tantamount to time spent in detention.
The CBN Source further disclosed that " the DG is home, well and will continue to dedicate herself to the service of the apex bank and the Federal Republic of Nigeria."

Atiku Abubakar of the People's Democratic Party and Peter Obi of the Labour Party, who came second and third respectively, had asked the court to invalidate the election, alleging irregularities.
Judge Haruna Tsammani, reading out a lengthy ruling on behalf of the tribunal's panel of five justices, rejected Obi's petition point-by-point. He was reading Atiku's petition, which was also expected to be dismissed.
While favourable to Tinubu, the tribunal's ruling was unlikely to generate any particular euphoria or momentum for the president after an election marked by a record low turnout of 29%.
In a nation of more than 200 million people of whom 87 million were registered to vote, Tinubu garnered just 8.79 million votes, the fewest of any president since the return to democracy, limiting the goodwill towards him.
