Apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, says it has no intention to interfere with the investigation of the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele by the Department of State Services (DSS).
Recall that President Bola Tinubu, on Friday, suspended Emefiele and ordered that the apex bank’s Deputy Governor, Operations Directorate, Folashodun Shonubi takes charge in an acting capacity.
Following his suspension, the DSS, on Saturday disclosed that it has taken Emefiele into custody for “some investigative reasons”.
With reactions to Emefiele’s arrest coming from different quarters, a statement credited to Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide and signed by one Chima Uzor, emerged describing Emefiele’s suspension as “ethnic cleansing”.
However, in an issued statement yesterday, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo President-General, Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, said Uzor and his group have no affiliation with Ohanaeze.
Iwuanyanwu went further to ask security operatives to arrest Uzor for allegedly impersonating the Ohanaeze Ndigbo.
