Emefiele Returns To Custody Months After Release From Kuje Prison

The embattled ex-Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr Godwin Emefiele, was on Monday remanded to the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) by a Lagos Court over alleged abuse of office and allocation of billions of the United States dollars.

Emefiele, who was arraigned alongside his co-defendant, one Henry Isioma Omole, on 26 counts before Justice Rahman Oshodi, pleaded not guilty to the charges preferred against him.
