Why Buhari should be arrested - Okere
Meanwhile, Okere said the DSS would have to arrest ex-President Buhari in court and prosecute him alongside Emefiele.
He said Emefiele's decision while serving as the CBN governor is being approved by Buhari and that whatever Emefiele might have done, his principal must have been in on it with him.
Okere said:
"Whatever Emefiele did as CBN governor had presidential approval. So, if they (DSS) have anything they want to dig that is traceable to him, they should also know that it should be traceable to the former President Muhammadu Buhari, and they should also bring him to book."
In its statement on Thursday, July 13, the DSS did not reveal the court Emefiele had been charged to nor the allegations he's been charged with.
