Protest rocks Abuja over CBN Governor

Many youth are protesting at the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) headquarters in Abuja.

They are calling for the resignation of CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele, over what they described as his refusal to appear before security operatives for questioning.

The placard-carrying protesters allege that the CBN Governor is a threat to national security, demanding his resignation or sack.

The youth, under the auspices of the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), said Emefiele should acknowledge the invitation of the Department of State Service (DSS).

NYCN President, Comrade Solomon Adodo, who led the protesters at the gate of the CBN, vowed that the group would continue the protest in Abuja and across the country until the CBN Governor resigned.

As of press time, there was tight security in and around the premises of the CBN headquarters over the action.
