EFCC FAILS TO PRODUCE EX-CBN GOVERNOR, EMEFIELE IN COURT
Read Time:49 Second
Godwin Emefiele, the former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), was absent from the Federal Capital Territory’s High Court on Monday.
This is notwithstanding an order of a trial judge, Justice Olukayode Adeniyi, for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to produce him in court for a hearing of his request on fundamental rights enforcement.
Last week, Justice Adeniyi gave the anti-graft agency an order to either produce the former CBN governor in person for the hearing on a motion deciding his bail or release him unconditionally.
This comes after the Department of State Services (DSS) released him from their custody in late October, just before he was arrested by the EFCC.
The court has now postponed until Wednesday, November 8, in order to hear Emefiele’s notice motion and give his attorney time to provide further supporting documentation.
Additionally, it reiterated its directive from November 2, calling for Emefiele’s unconditional release or his appearance in court on Wednesday.
