Protesters in their hundreds on Wednesday besieged the headquarters of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) located in Central Business District demanding the removal of the CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele from office.
They called for the resignation of Emefiele, over what they described as his refusal to appear before security operatives for questioning.
The demonstrators, under the auspices of the National Youth Council of Nigeria and other civil society groups, also said Emefiele should acknowledge the invitation of the Department of State Service . Adodo insisted that Emefiele cannot continue to run an important institution like the CBN from overseas.
Adodo observed that the CBN governor is in breach of Section 11 of the CBN Act, and should cease to be in office.
