Emefiele: Court fixes July 25 for trial

The suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Mr. Godwin Emefiele, will on July 25, appear before the Lagos Division of the Federal High Court.

The embattled CBN boss, who has been in the custody of the Department of State Services, DSS, is billed to enter his plea before Justice Nicholas Oweibo, following allegations the Department of State Services, DSS, leveled against him.

It will be recalled that operatives of the security agency had on June 10, stormed Emefiele’s Ikoyi residence in Lagos after he was suspended as the governor of the CBN by President Bola Tinubu.

He was arrested and had since then remained in custody, with the DSS maintaining that his detention was based on the order of an Abuja Chief Magistrate Court.
