EXCLUSIVE: How Investigation By Secret Police, DSS Linked Nigerian Central Bank Governor, Emefiele To Terrorism Financing, Economic Sabotage, MurderOn Wednesday, SaharaReporters exclusively obtained information about how the DSS investigation revealed that Emefiele fraternised with a well-known terror financier, whose name was not disclosed.
The security agency said the CBN governor is involved in the financing of terrorism and must answer for the alleged crime. So far, all efforts by the DSS to question Emefiele over his alleged links to terrorism and fraud have hit a brick wall, thanks to the work of the President’s associates led by Mamman Daura, a nephew and close confidant of Buhari and Nasir El-Rufai, governor of Kaduna State.
“How they linked Emefiele with terrorist financing was that he asked a well-known terror financier to help him to send money to Sheikh Gumi. Apparently, Emefiele wanted Gumi to support his presidential bid but Gumi reportedly rejected the money, saying he didn’t have a bank account,” one of the sources said.
The DSS learnt that the terror financier was being given huge amounts of dollars by Emefiele to sell, thereby killing the Nigerian economy when, as the apex bank governor, he should be saving it.
