The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) will arraign the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, on May 15 in a Federal Capital Territory court on a three-count amended charge.
The fresh charge alleges that Emefiele disobeyed the direction of the law with the intent to cause injury to the public during his implementation of the naira swap policy.
He is also accused of unlawfully approving the withdrawal of ₦124.8 billion from the Consolidated Revenue Fund of the Federation.
Emefiele is already standing trial in another court in Lagos and faces an alleged 20-count amended charge, including criminal breach of trust, forgery, and conspiracy to obtain by false pretence.
He has also been awarded ₦100 million damages by a Federal Capital Territory (FCT) high court for violations of his rights by the federal government and EFCC.
The court has restrained the federal government and its agents from arresting Emefiele unless an order is obtained through a competent court.
Emefiele had dragged the Federal Government, Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), Executive Chairman, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), and the Commission to court to enforce his fundamental rights to life, personal liberty, fair hearing, and freedom of movement.
Emefele matter just come get as e be o
But he should have thread with caution, but I believe the former president gave him those directives
Why is he the only one facing charges how come the former president is not as well because I know he wouldn’t have done all of this without the approval of buhari.
They should better do the right thing to him and not try to cover up things
Buhari should be arrested too.
All our rulers are all thief 😒 you will see. They will soon cover this case
I pray everyone involving this case should be judged accordingly
