A pro-democracy group, the Save Nigeria Movement (SNM), has called for an intensive probe of directors of the Central Bank of Nigeria who worked under suspended governor, Godwin Emefiele, saying some of them were also neck deep in corrupt practices and participated in bleeding the national economy. The civic group in a statement by its convener, Rev. Solomon Semaka, noted that the Department of State Services must block the local and foreign bank accounts kept by the top directors and must not compromise the investigations until they all faced the law.
June 20, 2023The civic group in a statement by its convener, Rev. Solomon Semaka, noted that the Department of State Services must block the local and foreign bank accounts kept by the top directors and must not compromise the investigations until they all faced the law.
"We know that Governor Emefiele while in office superintended over economic terrorism that brought the country to its knees.
