The embattled former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Godwin Emefiele, has arrived at the Lagos High Court (Ikeja division) for his arrangement over alleged abuse of office and allocation of billions of United States dollars.
Emefiele, alongside his co-defendant, Mr. Henry Isioma Omole, will be arraigned on fresh 26 counts before Justice Rahman Oshodi this morning.
In the charge marked ID/23787c/2024 and dated 3rd April 2024, the EFCC alleged that Emefiele abused his office between 2022 and 2023 in Lagos.
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”.
