I’ve Never Seen A Country Where The Central Bank Sells Dollars To Bureau De Change – Boyo




A foremost Nigerian economist, Mr. Henry Boyo has accused the Central Bank of Nigeria of implementing faulty monetary policies that are holding the Nigerian economy to ransom. Mr. Boyo made the remarks at the ‘Nigeria Fiscal and Monetary Crisis: The Way Out,’ which was organized by the Save Nigeria Group in order to mark the one-year anniversary of the Occupy Nigeria movement. According to him, “I’ve never seen a country where the Central Bank sells Dollars to Bureau de Change,” said Mr. Boyo… We even pride ourselves with giving agricultural loans at the rate of seven per cent, whereas in serious economies, it is as low as zero per cent.”

Part 1: Auchi Bank Robbery Operations "How The Attack Was Hatched"





It was a well planned operation  by  bandits. The dare-devil robbers, numbering about 50, stormed Auchi, Edo State, in  a bus and three Camry cars loaded with dynamites and bombs. They unleashed mayhem on  three new generation banks and one old generation bank. As it seemed, the robbers were familiar with Auchi, buttressing the argument by many that they may have been in town for about two weeks plotting this attack. They started the attack around  6:30 pm when security operatives were either praying in the mosques or handing over to those on night shift.

Part 2: Auchi Bank Robbery Operations "How The Attack Was Hatched"





Then they unleashed mayhem on the three banks located along Poly Road and one at Igbe Road. They used dynamites to blow up the ATM machines and the bank buildings in their efforts to loot the banks. While the operations were on, some of the gang members shot ceaselessly.
