Court adjourns Emefiele’s trial as EFCC files additional proof of evidence

The Lagos State Special Offences Court in Ikeja, on Friday, adjourned until 9 May for defence to study additional proof of evidence submitted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on the former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Godwin Emefiele.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Mr Emefiele was charged with $4.5 billion and N2.8 billion fraud.

The judge, Rahman Oshodi, in a short ruling, said he had considered the submissions of both the parties and was satisfied with the reasons given by the defence for adjournment.
