A coalition of civil society organizations on Monday evening protested an alleged plot to remove the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, on trumped-up terrorism charges in Abuja.
This followed the discovery of a suit filed by the Department of State Service (DSS) at the Federal High Court, Abuja, where it accused the CBN governor of terrorism financing and other activities considered as a threat to the country’s security.
Sources claimed on Monday night that Justice John Tsoho of the same court had dismissed the DSS application to arrest and detain Emefiele for 60 days over the secret police’s inability to prove its claim that the CBN governor was involved in terrorism financing and economic crimes.
