According to a report by Sahara Reporter, the protesters, who were sighted at the premises of the apex bank holding placards, said that Emefiele had inflicted undue hardship on Nigerians which had allegedly led to the death of many Nigerians.

As reported by PUNCH, some of the inscriptions on their placards read, “Emefiele Must Go”; “CBN Now Bureau De Change”; “Emefiele Bring Out The Names of Those You Gave Our Money To”; “Where Is The 500 Billion You Cried on Tape Is Missing?”; “What Happened To Anchor Borrowers Programme and many others?”

The convener of the protest, George Uboh who addressed journalists said, “We are demanding that Godwin Emefiele in his capacity as the Governor of CBN should make available the new naira notes. He must also come out here to address the people because the Supreme Court in its ruling pronounced that the new naira notes policy has caused the Nigerian masses undue hardship.”JAMB Result

George Uboh said their protest was informed by the Supreme Court judgment directing the CBN to release the new naira notes just as he described the policy as “insensitive” under the watch of Emefiele, Sahara Reporter says.NYSC Portal

Uboh noted that it was treasonable to have two legal tender at the same in a country, while lamenting how the policy had crippled small businesses in the country.

According to PUNCH, security agents including Police, Nigeria Army and Operatives of Department of State Services have reportedly surrounded the CBN building to prevent any possible breakdown of law and order.
