Court Adjourns FG’s Case Against Emefiele To Aug 23

A High Court sitting in the Federal Capital Territory has adjourned the alleged N6.9bn procurement case against the suspended Central Bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele, to August 23.

The arraignment which was initially scheduled for Thursday, was stalled the following the absence of the other two defendants in the matter.

Emefiele was supposed to be arraigned alongside a female CBN employee, Sa’adatu Yaro and her company, April 1616 Investment Limited on 20 charges of procurement fraud, conspiracy and conferring corrupt advantages on his associates.

On July 25, he was arraigned on a two-count charge bordering on “illegal possession” of firearms at a federal high court in Ikoyi and was granted bail in the sum of N20 million.

Nicholas Oweibo, the judge, had ordered that Emefiele be kept in the custody of the Nigeria Correctional Service (NCoS) pending the fulfilment of his bail conditions.

But the DSS insisted that Emefiele must return to its custody, a development that led to the face-off between the secret police and prison officials.

After the face-off, DSS rearrested Emefiele on the court premises.

The secret service proceeded to file an application before a high court of the federal capital territory seeking to further detain the suspended CBN governor.

The application was struck out after it was withdrawn by the service over jurisdictional concerns.

On August 3, the federal government also filed an application before the federal high court in Lagos, seeking leave to appeal against the order granting bail to Emefiele.

On August 15, the federal government made an oral application to withdraw the charge of “illegal possession of firearms” against Emefiele.
