Former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor Godwin Emefiele has made a significant court appearance seeking a modification of his bail conditions. Emefiele, who faces six counts of procurement fraud totaling N1.2 billion, is navigating a legal battle that could reshape his legal standing and public perception.
This marked the first instance where Emefiele entered the courtroom without the usual armed security personnel escorting him, adding an air of anticipation to the proceedings. Released from the Kuje Custodial Centre on December 23, 2023, after 34 days in detention, Emefiele has wasted no time in challenging the terms of his bail.
The case, being heard by Justice Hamza Muazu of the FCT High Court, is currently in the midst of compelling arguments regarding the requested modification of bail conditions. The specifics of the terms under review remain undisclosed, leaving the public and legal observers on the edge of their seats.
