The Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP) and the Coalition of National Civil Society Organisations (CNCSOS) have asked the federal government to probe alleged plots to frame up the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Godwin Emefiele, as terrorism financier by the Department of State Services (DSS).
The groups said that a thorough investigation of the matter would reassure the international community that the rule of law prevailed in the country.

Briefing newsmen on Wednesday in Abuja, the Secretary General of the CNPP, Chief Willy Ezugwu, who read the address jointly signed by himself and the National Secretary of the CNCSOs, Alhaji Ali Abacha, urged President Muhammadu Buhari and the Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami (SAN), to investigate the circumstances surrounding the controversy.
They also urged Malami to exercise his constitutional powers to send a clear signal to the international community that Nigeria has a rule of law and not a banana republic, where anything goes.
