Concerned Northern Forum (CNF) has called on the Department of State Services (DSS) to appeal the High Court ruling restraining the agency from arresting Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Godwin Emefiele.
‘It’s Bad Way To Reward CBN Boss’
Spokesperson of CNF, Mohammed Abdulsalam, during a press briefing in Kaduna State, yesterday, noted that Emefiele is not above the law and as such the state security should be allowed to do their job. Justice M. A. Hassan, who issued the order while ruling on a suit filed by the Incorporated Trustees of Forum for Accountability and Good Leadership , said the SSS “acted wrongfully and illegally in instigating the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria against Emefile in respect of the exercise of his statutory duty relating to the issuance of monetary policies and directives in the interest of the national security and economy”.
He said: “Sequel to the above, we, therefore, resolved that the DSS should ignore and immediately appeal the Federal High Court’s injunction and go ahead with the planned arrest of Emefele since it’s in the interest of national security.
