By Sola Omoniyi, Lagos

Former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, has called on the Department of State Services, DSS, to apologise to Nigerians over the case of Godwin Emefiele, the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN.

Ezekwesili said DSS took Nigerians for a ride over the charges levelled against Emefiele.

She wondered why the secret police would charge Emefiele for illegal possession of firearms.

Tweeting, the former minister said despite the damages of the monetary policies, DSS only charged Emefiele for illegal possession of firearms.

“@OfficialDSSNG must immediately apologize to Nigerians for daring to take citizens for a ride on this Emefiele’s court case. Imagine.” She wrote

@cenbank committed against the Nigerian economy and people, it is for “illegal possession of firearms” that State Security charged him to court. Nonsense.” she added
