Godwin Emefiele, the troubled former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, has arrived at the Ikeja State High Court in Lagos for his arraignment for allegedly misusing his position and giving billions of money.
Judge Rahman Oshodi will arraign Emefiele and his co-defendant, Henry Isioma Omole, on a new 26 counts this morning.
The EFCC claimed in the accusation dated April 3, 2024 and with the number ID/23787c/2024 that Emefiele mishandled his office in Lagos between 2022 and 2023.
The commission alleged that the former CBN governor “directed to be done in abuse of the authority of your office, as the Governor, Central Bank of Nigeria, an arbitrary act, to wit: allocating foreign exchange in the aggregate sum of $2,136,391,737.33 without bids, which act is prejudicial to the rights of Nigerians.”
