Terrorism Financing: Group Urges Due Process In Emefiele’s Probe News
“It is known that the DSS invited CBN governor over accusations of economic and financial crimes of national security dimension and have even filed an ex-parte motion at the high court in Abuja for his arrest over these accusations.“However, while the sitting judge declined the ex-parte motion filed, he mentioned that if the DSS believes that the evidence available to it so far is sufficient, then it has the jurisdiction to arrest and detain the applicant, even without the order of the court.
“While all this is ongoing, Mr Emefiele was alerted of the plans by DSS to arrest him and hurriedly left the country to avoid arrest, which only indicates his unwillingness to answer and address the accusation surrounding him.
“We cannot have a country where only the poor and powerless are subjected to the rule of law whereas those in power and their cohorts are not, this trend will not augur well to the future of the nation,” the statement said.
