Six Senior Advocates of Nigeria , including a former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Adetokunbo Kayode, has warned the federal government against planned moves by the Department of State Service to arrest and frame the Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria , Godwin Emefiele on terrorism charges in flagrant disobedience of order of court.
But the senior lawyers in a letter to the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami, SAN, condemned the planned arrest of the CBN, stating that anything done without regard to the rule of law would affect negatively Nigeria’s image internationally, as well as the President Muhammadu Buhari administration.
The SANs claimed that they have observed moves by the DSS to still proceed, sidetrack and disobey the court decisions and unduly and unlawfully interfere with Emefiele’s fundamental rights. ”In the circumstance, we wish to urge the Hon AGF to use his good offices to guarantee and ensure that the government, especially the security agencies, observe the rule of law as a foundation of a democratic society by complying with court decisions.
Falana, who spoke during a live television programme in Lagos, wondered if the federal government had considered the enormous implication of the effect of arresting a central bank governor on the economy.
