THE suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr Godwin Emefiele, Thursday (today) avoided cameras when he arrived at the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court on…
Emefiele, who has been in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) since his arrest after President Bola Tinubu suspended him on 9th June, exchanged pleasantries with his team of lawyers in court.
When operatives of the secret police brought him to court, journalists were not allowed to freely take pictures and capture him on camera as the defendant’s lawyers also shielded him.
It will be recalled that the Federal Government withdrew the illegal possession of firearms charge it filed against and filed fresh 20-count charges.
One of the counts against Emefiele is “conferring unlawful advantages”. He was also accused of engaging in conspiracy and procurement fraud, among others.
