The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) in the just concluded elections, Omoyele Sowore has taken to his verified Facebook handle to react after a High Court session in Abuja on Friday had invalidated the arrest and detention of the suspended governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele.
According to Sowore, the arrest and detention of Godwin Emefiele was a game with stages. He claimed that if the suspended CBN Governor was to be prosecuted, more prominent figures in the country will be exposed.
According to the documents Sowore posted, Godwin Emefiele was charged for “illegal possession of arms”.
Omoyele Sowore: “For those who may not be familiar with the modus of the @OfficialDSSNG, holding former Central Bank of Nigeria Governor Godwin Emefiele had nothing to do with the gravity of his high crimes, the game is to hold him on behalf of those in power.
“If Emefiele was to be prosecuted for his real financial crimes, economic sabotage, money laundering and terrorism financing involvement, FX round tripping etc… he would take down with him Muhammadu Buhari, his entire family, in-laws, members of his inner circle, lots of All Progressives Congress leaders, state governors, Senators, media practitioners, military and police top brass and even people in @OfficialDSSNG, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission as well as “civil society” leaders. A lot would come crashing down. Right now negotiations are ongoing, this is just the “holding charge” before they let him go, if he plays ball!”
Referencing what happened to Sambo Dasuki in 2015, he said, “These bogey of a charge is similar to how they started with former NSA Col. Sambo Dasuki, he was first charged with illegal possession of firearms, precisely in August of 2015! The rest is now history.”
