Although the former Kaduna Central Senator didn’t mention the name of the former CBN governor, but it can be deduced that he might be referring to the Godwin Emefiele who has recently been under trial for multidimensional corruption allegations.
The Herald recalls that Emefiele had been held in custody since June 10, facing charges of procurement fraud. However, his trial came to a standstill in August when the Department of State Services failed to bring him to court for his plea.
Meanwhile, he was first arrested by the Department of State Services (DSS), but EFCC on Monday claimed that he had been in their custody for a week.
Meanwhile, Justice Adeniyi sitting in a high court in Abuja granted the former CBN governor a conditional bail, provided he will appear before court whenever summoned as the EFCC plans to arraign him for other charges.
While he was in custody, Emefiele resigned as CBN governor in August. Thereafter, President Bola Tinubu appointed Yemi Cardoso in his place as the new head of the apex bank.
