Again, Emefiele’s arraignment stalls as embattled CBN Gov reportedly opts for plea bargain

There are strong signs that Godwin Emefiele, the suspended governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, will not be put on trial for allegedly breaking procurement laws and inflating contracts.

His case on 20-count charges of alleged fraud was not listed among cases scheduled for trial at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory for Wednesday.

At the courthouse, Ripples Nigeria learned that the detained CBN Chief requested that the arraignment be postponed.
