The Southern and Middle Belt Leaders Forum (SMBLF) has described as shameful the attempt by the Department of State Services (DSS) to arrest the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, for alleged terrorism financing.
The Federal High Court, Abuja, had on December 20 last year dismissed the DSS move to arrest the CBN governor for alleged terrorism financing and other acts considered as threats to national security.
In a statement issued on Monday, the SMBLF urged President Muhammadu Buhari to sack the Director-General of DSS, Yusuf Bichi, over the agency’s move to arrest and detain Emefiele for 60 days.
