GROUP WRITES INTERPOL, DEMANDS ARREST, EXTRADITION OF CBN GOV

A group under the auspices of Concerned Citizens Of Conscience (CCC) has written to the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) demanding the immediate arrest and extradition of the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, back to Nigeria to face prosecution over alleged terrorism sponsorship charges.

The group in a letter dated December, 23, 2022, which also copied the Director-General of Department of State Services (DSS), Inspector-General of Police, Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), US Ambassador to Nigeria, British High Commissioner, Canadian Ambassador and the European Union Commission, Abuja, requested the international police to arrest and extradite Emefiele who it said is “currently hiding in the United States of America in his bid to abscond from facing the wrath of the law in Nigeria.”

In the letter which was signed by the President of the CCC, Samuel O. Ojonugwa, the group alleged that Emefiele had committed serious infractions that put Nigeria’s economy under severe strain.
