A former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Mr Godwin Emefiele, has faulted reports accusing him of being among those financing terrorism in the country.
Emefiele, in a statement, said the claim is fake, stressing that it was fabricated to tarnish his name.
Emefiele added that the claim is entirely fabricated, baseless, and a deliberate attempt to malign him, mislead the public, and sow confusion for motives best known only to the publishers and their sponsors.
He also added that the fight against terrorism is too important to be trivialised by irresponsible reporting, stressing that Nigerians deserve better than such reckless misinformation.
Terrorist financiers are individuals or entities that provide or collect funds with the intention that such funds will be used to support terrorist acts, individual terrorists, or terrorist organisations.
