Group flays plans to blackmail Emefiele

Global Integrity Crusade Network (GICN) has condemned alleged moves to blackmail the governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, in the guise of whistle-blowing.

Chairman, Board of Trustees/President of the group, Mr. Edward Omaga, who spoke with reporters in Abuja yesterday, urged the CBN chief not to be distracted from discharging the onerous task of ensuring stability in the country’s financial system.

Omaga wondered how some persons who neither work with anti-graft agencies nor have any business with private investigation could falsely allege on different occasions that Emefiele and other officials of the apex bank connived to steal billions of naira.
