A group, National Coalition for Security and Anti-Terrorism (NACOFSA) has raised the alarm that the embattled Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele is allegedly seeking asylum in the United Kingdom as part of a ploy to run away from an ongoing investigation. The Department of State Services (DSS) has accused Emefiele of financing terrorism but an Abuja High Court recently stopped the police unit from arresting, detaining or questioning him.
Place Nigerian Central Bank Gov, Emefiele On Global Terrorism Watchlist, Group Urges International CommunityThe Department of State Services has accused Emefiele of financing terrorism but an Abuja High Court recently stopped the police unit from arresting, detaining or questioning him.
The group however called on the international community to as a matter of urgency and importance place the embattled apex bank governor, Emefiele on the Global Terrorism Watchlist as the allegations levelled against him are too weighty to be swept under the carpet. It said, “The allegations of terrorism financing by the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria Dr. Godwin Emefiele, left us with a shock like every other Nigerian when it hit the stable of public opinion in December 2022.
“And if we are referring to deals where it is alleged that somebody highly placed as the Central Bank of Nigeria is funding or has a link to enemies of Nigeria. Nigeria should come first irrespective of whoever is involved. So in this regard, the law is no respecter of persons and shouldn’t be a respecter of persons and as concerned citizens of Nigeria, we will not be calm.
“Nigeria belongs to all of us. We cannot turn a blind eye to allegations of this magnitude. We all agree that the country is not as safe as we want it to be and if a renowned security apparatus of the government fingers anyone as being behind the palpable unrest in the country, it is only proper that it should be given requisite attention.
