Emefiele threatens to sue Akpabio, demands apology, N25bn compensation over ‘defamatory' statement

Godwin Emefiele, the embattled ex-governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria has demanded an unreserved apology and compensation to the tune of N25 billion from Senate President Godswill Akpabio over his recent statement attributing Emefiele’s actions to the current hardship endured by Nigerians.

Emefiele, who is currently facing charges bordering on procurement fraud, made this demand through a letter dated February 19 and addressed to the Senate President. The letter titled: Defamatory Statement against Godwin Ifeanyi Emefiele, and Demand For Retraction and Apology” was served by his legal representative Matthew Burkaa

Burkaa, in the letter, said the “baseless and false allegations” clearly defame the character of Emefiele and have also caused him great pains and embarrassment as it has lowered his esteem before the right-thinking members of the Society in addition to the obvious odium and opprobrium from the unsuspecting members of the Society as a result of the falsity contained in that statement.
