Naira

Human rights lawyer Femi Falana (SAN) has called on the Federal Government to prosecute the management of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and its suspended Governor, Godwin Emefiele, over the botched naira swap policy.

Many Nigerians were subjected to an excruciating experience early in the year, no thanks to the naira scarcity that resulted from the shoddy handling of the rollout of the redesigned notes and the new cash policy by the apex bank.

The situation led to pockets of crisis in different parts of the country as angry customers besieged bank halls, forcing bank officials to run for dear life. Some Nigerians paid the ultimate price in the process, while bank buildings were destroyed by frustrated citizens.

Now, Falana, in a statement on Sunday, September 17, 2023, alleged that Emefiele and the CBN sold lies to Nigerians regarding the availability of cash during the tumultuous period.

“Having misled Nigerians to believe that sufficient cash was distributed to commercial banks to replace the sum of N3.5 trillion mopped up from customers, Mr. Godwin Emefiele and the entire management of the CBN ought to be prosecuted for incitement and culpable homicide,” the statement partly read.

Falana also demanded that the CBN pick up the bill for the rebuilding of the bank buildings that were destroyed during the crisis and also asked the apex bank to compensate the families who lost loved ones due to the incitement of the public.

“In addition, the CBN should rebuild the bank buildings that were destroyed and pay compensation to the families of those who were killed as a result of the incitement of members of the public,” Falana added

  229. Software providers stream their live casino games from all over the world. Some of them have studios in the Philippines, Latvia, Spain, Costa Rice, Malta, and Ireland. The game developers tend to offer two options to online casinos; license their games ‘as they are’ and provide it to their players or rent out tables in their live stream studios. Online Casinos that partner with Evolution Gaming and choose the second option are allowed to put their branding on the tables and tailor the live experience even further. What’s the best online live casino USA players can access via their mobile? There are plenty of candidates.

    Penny slots are named due to their minimum bet of a single cent per line. However, there’s a massive mistake a lot of players make – and that’s assuming that penny slots mean you only spend one penny each time you spin the game. This couldn’t be further from the truth, and while you can find penny slot machines that can be played from just one cent, most of the time, this is no longer the case today. I’d recommend that if you cannot afford to play the max coins in a slot machine, pick a lower denomination so that you can play the max coins (or play a two coin machine instead of a three coin machine, etc.) A platform created to showcase all of our efforts aimed at bringing the vision of a safer and more transparent online gambling industry to reality. You can still pay penny slots today both online and at the casino, for free or real money – but the name doesn’t truly reflect the reality.
