Protesters on Tuesday stormed the Central bank of Nigeria headquarters in Abuja seeking the removal of Apex bank governor, Mr. Godwin Emefiele.
The protesters were said to be demanding for the resignation of Governor Emefiele over “rising inflation and a falling currency, according to Reuters reports.
Nigerian policemen and soldiers however, stormed the venue dispersing the protesters.
In front of the bank’s main entrance, they held up placards saying “Emefiele must go” and “Where is your conscience, Emefiele?” until policemen and soldiers scattered them.
It was the first sign of public unrest targeting the central bank during the current economic crunch.
