Breaking: Emefiele Pleads Not Guilty To Fresh Charges In Court

A Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court sitting in Maitama has granted former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, a ₦300 million bail.

Emefiele is being arraigned on a four-count charge bordering on printing new Naira notes without observing due process.

Plateau News previously reported that he pleaded not guilty to the charges leveled against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Additionally, the bail conditions stipulated that he must produce two sureties, each possessing titled property within the Maitama area of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

Justice Anenih further ordered him to surrender his travel documents to the court and refrain from traveling abroad without prior court approval.

These conditions mirror those of a previous bail granted to Emefiele by Justice Hamza Muazu, another judge of the FCT High Court, where he faces another criminal case.

The judge emphasized the importance of providing certified true copies (CTCs) of the documents submitted for the earlier bail.

The trial is scheduled to commence on May 28, as adjourned by the judge.
