EFCC Complies, Brings Emefiele To Court After Earlier Failure

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) a moment ago, brought former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele before a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in Maitama.

Dressed in light green native attire and a cap, Emefiele was led into the courtroom by some official of the EFCC.

His production in court on Wednesday afternoon is in compliance with the order made on November 2.

Justice Olukayode Adeniyi had, on November 2 while ruling on an ex-parte application by Emefiele, ordered the EFCC to either release him unconditionally or produce him on November 6 for the court to grant him bail.
