Yakubu Gowon denies UK parliamentarian's allegation that he fled Nigeria with ''Half - Edoman - 11-26-2020 Yakubu Gowon denies UK parliamentarian's allegation that he fled Nigeria with ''Half of Central bank'' Former Nigerian Military leader, Yakubu Gowon, has denied claims of stealing ''half of the Central Bank of Nigeria''. Recall that on Monday, November 23, the UK parliament debated a petition seeking to impose sanctions on Nigerian Government officials involved in the shooting incident that occurred during the Endsars protest in Lekki on October 20. During the debate, the Conservative MP Tom Tugendhat, a member of the parliament, urged his government to place sanctions on Nigerians who flee to the UK with ill-gotten wealth. He also spoke about Nigeria’s former military ruler, Yakubu Gowon’s alleged looting of the Central Bank of Nigeria. He said; Quote:“What we are seeing in Nigeria today is part of that story. It is a tragedy we are all witnessing because we see things falling apart. However, in an exclusive interview with the BBC, Gowon described the allegations as ''Rubbish'' Quote:“What the MP said is rubbish. I don’t know where he got that rubbish from, I served Nigeria diligently and my records are there for all to see. After leaving power in a bloodless coup in 1975, Gowon went to the UK and enrolled at Warwick University as an undergraduate where he studied political science and international relations. |
