2023 Presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore on Saturday claimed the suspended Central Bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele attempted to escape from Nigeria before he was arrested by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS).
According to Sowore, Emefiele was tracked and thereafter arrested after he drove around Lagos in an attempt to flee Nigeria.
