In a recent development, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) brought Godwin Emefiele, the former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, to the Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday.
This action followed the EFCC’s initial failure to adhere to the court’s directive to produce Emefiele in court on Monday or release him unconditionally.
In response to the commission’s non-compliance, the court reaffirmed its order and postponed the proceedings until Wednesday.
