Naira redesign: We’ll issue arrest warrant against Emefiele if he ignores our summon, says Gbajabiamila

Femi Gbajabiamila, speaker of the house of representatives, says he will issue a warrant of arrest on Godwin Emefiele, governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), and managing directors of banks if they ignore the summon of the house.

Gbajabiamila said this on the floor of the lower legislative chamber on Thursday.

On Tuesday, the house set up an ad hoc committee chaired by Alhassan Doguwa, majority leader of the house to meet managing directors of banks and CBN over the deadline for the withdrawal of old naira notes from circulation.

The meeting with the CBN was scheduled to take place on Wednesday at the national assembly.

But the apex bank wrote to the committee requesting that the meeting be shifted to Thursday because the invitation letter was received late on Tuesday.
