An Abuja High Court on Wednesday, granted embattled former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele bail following his recent arrest and detention by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
In his ruling, president of the court, Justice Olukayode Adeniyi, ordered the EFCC to release Emefiele to his lawyers and that the order should put an end to his detention without trial.
Adeniyi stressed that it was the refusal of the EFCC to comply with the order the court made on November 2 when he was arraigned by the DSS that led to the ruling.
