FCT High Court Adjourns Godwin Emefiele's Case to January 18, 2024.
The trial of the former Central Bank of Nigeria's Governor, Godwin Emefiele, in the alleged procurement fraud suit has seen an adjournment by the Federal Capital Territory High Court. The court has scheduled January 18, 2024, for the continuation of proceedings.
Emefiele faces accusations of using his position to confer a corrupt advantage on Sa’adatu Yaro, a CBN staff member. The charges revolve around the alleged awarding of a contract for the procurement of 43 vehicles worth N1.2 billion between 2018 and 2020.
On November 22, Emefiele was remanded at the Kuje Correctional Centre pending a ruling on his bail application. However, Justice Hamza Muazu granted him bail in the sum of N300 million.
The judge specified that sureties must possess certificates of occupancy and titles of properties within the Maitama district in Abuja.
As of now, Emefiele has yet to meet his bail conditions, and he was brought to court and taken away by armed personnel of the Nigerian Correctional Service.
