The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Wednesday brought the embattled former Central Bank of Nigeria governor, Godwin Emefiele, to the Federal High Court, Abuja.
Recall that Justice Olukayode Adeniyi had ordered the EFCC to either produce or release the embattled former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr Godwin Emefiele, on Nov. 8.
Justice Adeniyi gave the first order on Friday after hearing an ex parte motion, on the fundamental right marked M/122/2023 in a Motion on Notice with the number, FCT/HC/CV/040/2023, filed by Emefiele.
Unfortunately, the EFCC could not obey the order at the resumed sitting on Monday as the EFCC counsel, Farouk Abdullahi, told the court that the order was not understood.
He added that the applicant could not attach some documents to his affidavit.
Emefiele ‘s counsel, Matthew Burkaa, SAN, had earlier told the court that his client had been in detention of the Federal Government for 149 days.
He however, promised that he would attach the omitted documents which among others were the charge.
