Human rights lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana has advised the Department of State Services (DSS) to properly handle the case involving the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele to prevent it from being bungled.
In a statement on Sunday, Falana said the secret police should prosecute Emefiele for alleged terrorism financing which falls under its purview and hand him over to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for prosecution for suspected money laundering and other graft accusations.
On Friday, President Bola Tinubu suspended Emefiele as the apex bank’s chief and directed that the bank’s Deputy Governor of Operations, Folashodun Shonubi, resume office in an acting capacity.
On Saturday, the DSS confirmed that Emefiele is in its custody.
Falana, on Sunday, counselled the secret police not to mess the case involving the suspended CBN chief by prosecuting him for alleged money laundering and economic crimes which fall under the purview of the EFCC.
