Ex CBN Gov. Emefiele Faces Fresh Charge Over Printing Of Naira

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has preferred a fresh charge against the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Mr. Godwin Emefiele, over an allegation that he illegally printed Naira notes while he held sway at the apex bank

The anti-graft agency, in the four-count charge it entered before the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja, equally accused the former CBN boss of unlawfully approving the withdrawal of about N124.8billion from the consolidated revenue fund.

According to the EFCC, the defendant, acting in violation of law and “with intent to cause injury to the public,” okayed the printing of naira notes without the approval of both the former President, Muhammadu Buhari and the board of the CBN.

Emefiele, who is already facing multiple charges both in Abuja and Lagos, is expected to take his plea before trial Justice Maryann Anenih.

The most nonsensical and  silly defilement of the  Nigerian constitution by the lawless Tinubu caboodle against former Central Bank Governor is to punish him for almost derailing the former's presidential chances . Its more than clear the government has no clear case against  Emefile, and the Americans have made that known to everyone. The  Nigeria federation  is a scam and may never  be straightened until true patriots  lead.
