The court issued the order on Friday after hearing an ex parte motion, which Mr Emefile filed as part of his broader fundamental rights enforcement suit.
The FCT High Court in Abuja has again ordered the Economic and Financial Crime Commission to either produce or release the embattled former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria , Godwin Emefiele, on 8 November.EFCC failed to obey the order at the resumed sitting on Monday, as the agency's counsel, Farouk Abdullahai, told the court that the order issued by the court was not understood.
He further directed the applicant's counsel to attach the documents omitted supporting their affidavit and serve parties.Mr Emefiele, through his legal team, sued the federal government, the Attorney-General of the Federation , the EFCC and its chairperson, Ola Olukoyede, as respondents in the suit.
But the arraignment was rescheduled on different occasions, a development that triggered speculations that Mr Emefiele was in plea bargain talks with the government over the charges filed against him. In the case, Mr Emefiele was charged alongside Sa'adatu Ramallan-Yaro, a CBN staff member, and her company, April 1616 Investment Limited.There was a problem processing your submission.
