Reacting to the recent arrest of CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele, by the DSS in connection with alleged financing of terrorism, fraudulent activities and economic crimes of national security dimension which are currently under investigation.

The Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice J.T Tsoho, however, refused to grant the application of the DSS.

“In an ideal society, his main accomplice in the military, Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Lucky Irabor should be arrested and tried with Emefiele.
“Of course not leaving out former President @MBuhari as well.
“Former Central Bank of Nigeria @cenbank Gov. Godwin Emefiele’s case with that of ex-President @MBuhari his principal, should be treated as a Crime Against Humanity! #RevolutionNow.”
