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

  3079. Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!
