The Nigerian Senate has invited the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele to brief its committees on the recent ban on cryptocurrency.
The apex bank in a statement released on February 5, ordered all banks to close accounts of anyone who transacts in cryptocurrency. In another statement released on Sunday, February 7, the bank said cryptocurrencies have become well-suited for conducting many illegal activities including money laundering, terrorism financing, purchase of small arms and light weapons, and tax evasion.
