Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Presidency has said the immediate past Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Godwin Emefiele, would have faced a firing squad if he were from China.<\/p>\n

President Bola Tinubu\u2019s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said Emefiele and his gangs committed egregious misappropriation that would not be allowed in China.<\/p>\n

Onanuga was reacting to the Special Investigation on CBN and Related Entities, Chargeable Offences report.<\/p>\n

Jim Obazee\u2019s report indicted Emefiele of misappropriating funds while he was CBN governor.<\/p>\n

The report claimed that the former CBN governor opened bank accounts without the approval of the apex bank\u2019s Board of Directors and Investment Committee.<\/p>\n

According to the report, Emefiele illegally lodged billions of naira in about 593 bank accounts in the United States, United Kingdom, and China.<\/p>\n

Obazee disclosed that Emefiele deposited \u00a3543,482,213 in fixed deposits in UK banks alone without authorisation<\/p>\n

Posting on X, Onanuga wrote: \u201cIf Godwin Emefiele and his gang had committed these egregious misappropriations in China, they will by now be facing the firing squad for high treason.\u201d<\/p>\n
