Investigator Jim Obazee says former President Muhammadu Buhari and other senior officials should be prosecuted over an alleged $6.2 million CBN cash withdrawal case, arguing that the same actions taken in the prosecution of former CBN governor Godwin Emefiele should have been applied to them. Obazee argues that if Emefiele is prosecuted in relation to the alleged withdrawal, similar steps should extend to Buhari and members of the CBN’s leadership and board during the period in question. In the statement, Obazee also names Minister of State for Labour and Productivity, Simon Lalong? (No—sources specify Boss Mustapha and Bashirudeen Maishanu) and former board members, including Bashirudeen Maishanu, as well as CBN board members. Premium Times reports that Obazee specifically urges that Buhari, then-CBN-related officials, and CBN board members be treated comparably to Emefiele regarding the alleged $6.23 million withdrawal. The Punch similarly reports Obazee’s position that Buhari should have faced trial over the alleged $6.2 million fraud and notes that others are implicated in the Emefiele-related proceedings. The reports reflect Obazee’s allegations and calls for trial, without detailing court rulings in these accounts.
