They believe that as the CBN boss at the time, Emefiele upset influential figures who now seem determined to punish him for implementing a policy on behalf of President Muhammadu Buhari’s previous administration.

The demands were outlined in a communique signed by Alhaji Kanabe Zubairu, the Project Coordinator, and Prince Moses K. Ibekwe, the Secretary of the group.

They emphasize that the currency swap policy was a government policy, not solely Godwin Emefiele’s decision.

The advocacy group calls for the immediate release of Godwin Emefiele from detention while the trial continues, emphasizing that his prolonged detention violates his civil rights and runs counter to the principles of justice and the rule of law.

They point to a court ruling ordering the Department of State Services (DSS) to either charge Emefiele to court within seven days or release him, as the charges against him are bailable, not being capital offenses.

The organization believes that Emefiele’s continuous detention serves no useful purpose and urges the Tinubu government to demonstrate its commitment to democratic principles by ensuring a fair and just process for the suspended CBN governor.
