Human rights lawyers, civil groups including the Arewa Youth Consultative Movement on Monday raised the alarm over an alleged plot by the Department of State Service to frame up the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, over alleged terrorism sponsorship against Nigeria.
The group also accused the DSS of not informing the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari , of the investigative report which showed them that Emefiele was a terrorist and faulted the agency for allowing Emefiele to travel out of the country with the President and had unrestricted access to the President.
Challenging the veracity of the claims of the DSS, the Coalition said if truly the Director-General of the DSS, Yusuf Bichi, believed his claims, he would not have allowed Emefiele anywhere near the President. He added that by allowing Emefiele to travel with the President, it showed the DG of the DSS did not believe Emefiele was indeed a terrorist and this therefore meant that the claims of the DSS in suit no: FHC/ABJ/CS/2255/2022 between the State Security Service and Emefiele was made with the sole purpose of forcefully and wrongfully removing the CBN governor from office.
The groups therefore called on President Buhari and the Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami , to set the process in motion to immediately suspend, arrest, investigate and prosecute the DSS DG, Bichi.All rights reserved.
