The Department of State Services (DSS) has filed terrorism charges against Godwin Emefiele, the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

The charges allege that Emefiele authorized payments to terrorist organizations in Afghanistan. Emefiele has denied the charges.

The DSS filed the charges in a Federal High Court in Abuja on June 10, 2023. The charges allege that Emefiele authorized payments of $100 million to the Taliban in Afghanistan in 2021. The payments were allegedly made in exchange for the release of two Nigerian hostages.

Emefiele has denied the charges. He has said that he did not authorize any payments to the Taliban. He has also said that he was not aware that the hostages were being held by the Taliban.

The DSS has not released any evidence to the charges. The agency has also not said why it waited until 2023 to file the charges.

Emefiele's lawyers have filed a bail application. The court has not yet ruled on the application.
The terrorism charges against Emefiele are a serious development. If convicted, he could face up to 20 years in prison. The charges could also have a significant impact on Emefiele's political career.

It is important to note that Emefiele is presumed innocent until proven guilty. He has the right to a fair trial.

The terrorism charges against Emefiele are a reminder of the challenges that Nigeria faces in its fight against terrorism. The charges also raise questions about the role of the CBN in the fight against terrorism. - IPC JUSTICE

The tail-spin of Emefiele is happening so fast. He carried out his duties with so much impunity.

They should have detained him for long before filing any case against the wicked animal..

He should be charged for crime against humanity.

Emilefi is a terrorist sponsor all this while good as his now going down the drainage

Damnnn niggar

Look at Nigerians


Celebrating the Arrest of a man way he intentions na to reduce vote buying


We are doomed in this part of the Africa

Elemi emere should quickly be sent to prison. The idiat suffer me and alot of Nigeria's.

:Emefool is a bastard ...


let him spend more time in jail..

Wao. If all these allegations are true, then I won't be surprised that these cabals are also behind northern insurgencies through their foot soldiers in other to milk the country die. that those iswap wing of terrorists flaunting millions of new packs of emefiele colored naira notes when over 98 percent of Nigerians have not even seen it talkless of touching it. They claimed that they have it in abundance and in bulks and they have access to it anytime. How did they get them so fast? Gumi is a friend of emefiele. BH negotiator that was arrested then was his friend, add 2 plus 2 together. Now over $100m transferred to Talibans. Hope he is not part of those sponsoring UGM too.
Hope they have enough evidences.
My only problem is that tinubu should not bow to pressure to release him cos sooner all those strong underground cabals that are using him will want to use proxy to persuade those emirs and leaders to intervene so that their secrets won't leak out.
Tinubu should strengthen all those agencies now and make everything public. No more PADI PADI elite interventions that has ruined this country judicial system.
Used, dumped and so pe, otilo.
Please people, neglect that damn niggar up there, he has mental problem and also an impostor of the real guy, slawomirr

this one na another action film.

Wahala wahala wahala

This one shock me

Las Las the matter go enter under carpet because Emefiele danced to their (APC) tune.He will be a Saint later.

This emiefele is a big fool. He was used as a tool to frustrate tinubu from winning the election. First thing he should have done after tinubu won was to resign and relocate just like diezani and other fraudulent government officials before him. Now he's going to spend years in prison and buhari cannot save him.

hmm

Wetin concern Emefiele with Taliban? It was Buhari who donated money to Afghanistan Taliban government.

Political appointments in Nigeria is like a double edged sword against you!

As much as I'm in no way a fan of Emefiele but the 100% of the whole thing is, whatever Emefiele did was 100% authorised by the Emperor himself. If he ever goes down (which will NOT happen - (he knows a lot (State Secret/Nation Security) to go down just like that), the Emperor will as well go down which too will NEVER happen.

Before you crucify Emefiele, the Emperor got a loan for the settlement of some judgement debt like few weeks to the end of his tenure. They just WOULDN'T want Emefiele to sing to the press about that loan. Whatever is happening now, "THEY WANT EMEFIELE OUT OF CIRCULATION" for the mean time!

So, dont get too excited, the STATUS QUO hasn't changed rather the DRIVER of the STATUS QUO changed!


***LAST LAST.. As nothing happened to Dezani, nothing too will happen to Emefiele. The new emperor wants to show WORKING. It's the GAME!

So
Emefiele used the economy of Nigeria to gamble.

Then when he knew he had completely bleeped up big time, he wanted to become president so that he can become immune to arrest and then in power, cover all his atrocities and everything would have ed away.

Hmmm. Karma is a real bitch.

I didn't like the Idea of Tinubu becoming president at first but, when I ed Abacha was used to remove the then Sultan of Sokoto, I knew a mad man will always be the best to be used to remove a mad man.

Tinubu in this context has good madness and that is what will benefit the country right now.
If it was a Peter Obi that won, all of these atrocities would have been covered because he would have been shaking under the control of the cabal for another couple of years


The day Buhari gets arrested and proved guilty for all his evils and he bags a life imprisonment or death sentence, Tinubu will forever be named the best President Nigeria will ever have.
But can this happen? With Tinubu knowing that Buhari personally helped Tinubu prove that the elections were perfect.
Well Tinubu can still outsmart the walking dead in Daura.He's wise

O pari

Hmm. Effect of new naira policy

What a horrid looking fellow!

If true, I can only think of two reason why he did such act. Either the payment was authorised by Buhari ( Buhari is a Jihadist) or his family was held hostage in a foreign country and he had no choice but to make the payment for their release.

We await further investigations, he is still innocent until proven guilty by the court.

Makes no sense. Why would Emefiele transfer a whooping sum of $100 to Talibans to realease two Nigwrians?

The Nigerians, they no get name?

Are those Nigerians his brothers, Sisters or what?

And if it was to realease Nigerians, are they saying the Nigerians should have been abandoned or what?

Seems the style is now to charge innocent people whom the government do not like with trumped up terrorism allegations knowing that our judicial system is very slow and the person would have rotted in detention while the courts take years to adjudicate on the matter. This is bad and evil to say the least

We are not doomed in this country. It is folks like you who evil and are against the progress of the country simply for ethno-religious sentiments that are doomed.

Nigeria will make progress whether you haters of the president like it or not. Financiers of terrorism and rogues like Emefiele will be served justice for their crimes against the country. President Bola Tinubu shall succeed no matter the cry from tribal haters like you.

Wahala

Excellent!!!

Looking like trumped up bogus charges

I don't care about the terrorism allegations. But that man must suffer for what he made Nigerians go through during the useless cashless policy

These are serious allegations. From his response to the allegations, it is established that some persons were held hostage and monies were paid to terrorists for there release. In all these, I don't think the ex CBN Governor is completely innocent.
