The Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, had accused the online foreign exchange update platform, Aboxi FX, of manipulating the forex market.
Emefiele, had said the bank would shut down the operations of Aboki FX which it described as illegal.
Subsequently, Aboki FX said in a statement on Friday that it would no longer publish exchange rates for now and hoped that the naira would stabilise.
It further stated that it usually gets its information from bureau de change operators in Lagos.
