But in a statement issued on Saturday, June 10, the LP spokesman Obiorah Ifo, disclosed that the party faulted the move, claiming it was unconstitutional, Vanguard report added.
“It is laughable to read that statement as most Nigerians are already aware of the intention of the government. If indeed, there is any government agency that should be investigated with this utmost urgency, should it not be the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC and its Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu?” the statement wondered.
“The leadership of the Labour Party is disturbed by the decision of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to suspend/sack the Governor of the Central Bank, Godwin Emefiele, albeit unconstitutionally without seeking the permission of the national assembly and we insist that the action was not in good taste and sounds punitive,” the party added.
DSS confirms Emefiele's arrest after initial denial
The Department of State Services (DSS) has finally confirmed the arrest of the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele.
In a tweet earlier on Saturday, June 10, the DSS stated that Emefiele was not in their custody, as reported by numerous media outlets.
Meanwhile, a new update via the agency's official Twitter handle confirmed that Emefiele is now in their custody.
