The suspended Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor Godwin Emefiele wept in Court on Thursday after the High court of the Federal Capital Territory adjourned his arraignment to August 23, 2023.

He is also accused of conferring corrupt advantages on his associates, including Yaro, said to be a Director in April 1616 to the tune of N6.9 billion.


The accused were taken before the vacation judge, Justice Hamza Muazu of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court.


Emefiele was brought to court by officials of the Department of State Services (DSS).


Immediately after the proceedings, Emefiele was returned to operatives of the Department of the State Service (DSS) who brought him to court under heavy security.
