The former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Godwin Emefiele didn’t appear in High Court of the Federal Capital Territory on Monday. The court has now adjourned till Wednesday, November 8 for a hearing of Emefiele’s motion on notice and for his counsel to provide additional documents.
Justice Adeniyi had last week ordered the anti-graft agency EFCC to release the former CBN governor unconditionally or produce him in court for the hearing of a motion determining his bail.
This is despite an order of a trial judge Justice Olukayode Adeniyi for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to produce him in court for hearing of his motion on fundamental rights enforcement.
The court has now adjourned till Wednesday, November 8 for a hearing of Emefiele’s motion on notice and for his counsel to provide additional documents.
It also restated its November 2 order for Emefiele’s unconditional release, or to produce him in court on Wednesday.
