Court Grants Ex-CBN Gov Emefiele N300 Million Bail

The Abuja High Court at Maitama recently issued a significant ruling granting bail to Mr. Godwin Emefiele, the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). Justice Hamza Muazu presided over the case and delivered the ruling, allowing Emefiele’s release on bail upon the payment of N300 million.

Emefiele is expected to present two sureties who live in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, under the bail terms. Furthermore, these sureties must own landed property in the Maitama District, demonstrating their financial means to guarantee the bail.

The judgment of the court clears the way for the start of a thorough hearing on November 28. This hearing is on Emefiele’s six-count charge filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). The court had previously ordered Emefiele to relinquish all of his travel documents, underscoring the strict steps surrounding the bail requirements.
