In a tweet shortly after the announcement, Fani-Kayode alleged that Emefiele financed terrorism and would be brought to justice.
Fani-Kayode said: “The beast called Godwin ‘The Greed’ Emefiele has finally been suspended.
“He is the living manifestation of everything evil and never has a single individual destroyed Nigeria as much as him. His atrocities are legion. I am happy for Nigeria and for Central Bank that he has gone.
“Now he must face the full wrath of the law for his crimes against humanity, his treasonable acts, his funding of terrorism, his massive and monumental thievery and corruption, his wicked and barbaric ways, his conspiracy to thwart the will of the Nigerian people and his attempt to subvert & scuttle our democracy. He must and will be brought to justice.”
He also taunted Emefiele in a poem titled “O Godwin, how art thou fallen!” shared on Twitter on Saturday.
