In a recent legal development, the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in Maitama, Abuja, has made a significant ruling in the case involving the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele.



The court, presided over by Justice Hamza Muazu, ordered the remand of Emefiele in the Kuje Correctional Facility. This decision came in response to Emefiele's arraignment and his plea of not guilty to a six-count amended charge filed against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The charges brought by the EFCC prompted a legal process that led to Emefiele's remand pending the ruling on his bail application. Justice Muazu, after considering arguments related to Emefiele's bail, has set the date for the ruling on the bail application to be November 22. Additionally, the trial is scheduled to commence on November 28.

This development adds a new chapter to the legal proceedings involving the former CBN Governor, and as the court proceedings unfold, stakeholders and the public will be keenly watching for further updates on this case. The November dates mark crucial milestones in determining the direction of the legal course that lies ahead for Godwin Emefiele.
