The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA, has warned the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, against going after friends and Allies of Billionaire Businessman, Obinna Iyiegbu, popularly known as Obi Cubana, .
HURIWA’s National Coordinator, Emmanuel Onwubiko, disclosed that the CBN should leave those who abused the naira during the burial of Obi Cubana’s mother alone, as well as their sources of income.
Onwubiko cautioned that the CBN should expose those funding banditry and armed Fulani militias instead of going after Obi Cubana and his friends.
In a statement, the Human Rights group said that the spraying of naira at Obi Cubana’s event should not be an issue, because there are other events where the naira is being abused in the country, even by those that made the law.
HURIWA said: “The fact that friends and well-wishers who attended the event decided to show appreciation to Mr. Obi Cubana, we in the Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, think it should not become the talking point.
“The Central Bank of Nigeria under the current dispensation, should rather be tasked by the Media to confront the much more disturbing issue of how terrorism is funded, and how armed kidnappers made up of Fulani militia in the North, carry out their terrorism-related activities.”
