In an interview with ARISE NEWS on Monday, Bwala, while expressing his views on the dismissal and arrests of the former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, and the former Executive chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Abdulrasheed Bawa, said that there seemed to be a dismissal of the fundamental human rights of both individuals.
Speaking on Emefiele’s dismissal as the CBN governor and his arrest, Bwala said, “If you look at other officers in the last administration, appointees of the government, with respect to the information flying in the media space because we are not in a position to substantiate unless law enforcement comes out with anything about coaching and compelling. This will send shock to your spine to understand that the money they are looking for to do anything is in the last administration, was siphoned by officers of the government. The freedom of Emefiele’s fundamental right is crucial. This is what I am seeing with this administration. Respect for the human right is going to be an issue, and it is carried out in such a surreptitious way that you will not know because it is playing on the sentiments of the people. Where is Emefiele? Has he been charged to court?”
