Former CBN governor Godwin Emefiele allegedly printed a different design of the new naira note without the approved design by former President Buhari. Ahmed Umar, ex-director of currency operations at CBN, testified at the FCT High Court, detailing discrepancies between the approved and printed designs, including missing features like QR codes and portrait placement differences.

Emefiele reportedly obtained the President's approval before consulting the CBN board, contrary to the CBN Act.
