SERAP sues CBN over failure to expose Boko Haram sponsors

Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has sued the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for “failure to expose the persons involved in alleged money laundering through the CBN to fund the activities of Boko Haram, a terrorist group which have contributed to the unlawful killings of innocent Nigerians and destruction of property.”
The suit was filed on Tuesday by the Executive Director of the organisation, Adetokunbo Mumuni, at the Federal High Court Ikoyi in Lagos State.
He said the group decided to take the action after its Freedom of Information request to the CBN Governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele, dated September 15, 2014 did not yield any result.
