A Federal High Court in Abuja has summoned the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, over a $53 million judgment debt arising from the Paris Club refund.

In an application for garnishee made on October 20, 2022, Justice Inyang Ekwo, ordered Emefiele to appear on Wednesday, January 18 as the hearing date for the matter.

Prior, on January 23, 2020, the court ruled that Emefiele must appear “to be examined on oath touching the means you have or have had, since the date of the said garnishee order absolute, to pay the balance of $53 million now due and payable under the said garnishee order absolute and also show cause why you should not be committed to prison for default in payment of the said sum.”

The order followed the application by a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Joe Agi, against Linas International Ltd, the Minister of Finance and the CBN through his lawyers, Isaac Ekpa and Chinonso Obasi.


The applicants were seeking an order directing the Inspector General of Police to arrest Emefiele and bring him to court alongside his lawyers – Damian Dodo, Audu Anuga, all Senior Advocates of Nigeria, and Ginika Ezeoke, Jessica Iyoke, Abdullahi Afolayan and Olayemi Afolayan.

The suit stemmed from an alleged $70 million judgment against Linas over the lawyer’s services in the Paris Club refund.

The CBN governor was said to have left an outstanding amount of $53 million having only released $17 million.

Wait ooo. You people did not summon him last year for this case. Na now una wan summon am. Emifele! You be spirit?.....
I knew they will cum after you when these policies saw the light of night. Either ways. This has shown that PDAPC can't win a free, fair and credible election in Nigeria. And the only reason why they are fighting Emifele is because they have realized obi has won the elections. The Inec elections are just formalities. We are waiting for may 29, 2023. Congratulations sane Nigerians and OBIDIENTs
P.s Insane Nigerians, Vote OBIDIENTLY

Nothing must happen to Emefiele until after the election.

There is about to be a revolution by ballot.

Nawa ooo

Who is raising this dust
My own concern is that the old currency won't be extended to February

and he would not be removed until after the election.... They want to remove him so a new CBN governor can release cash for them

The most controversial Central Bank governor ever and Buhari has somehow amplified his cluelessness and arrogances.

Good

Emefiele is in hot soup

This might be a trap to lure him out, then boom they arrest him fear Nigerian polithiefiains

An exercise in futility by Thief.nu.bu and his gang of looters rattled by the currency redesign and prospect of BVAS deployment next month.

The CBN governor and the INEC chairman are going nowhere…at least not before the presidential election.
Your structure of criminality shall be dismatled next month.

Awon ole gbogbo!

Thief

They shouldn't complicate things ahead of elections.

Just summoning? I thought he was to be arrested on sight as he does not have any immunity cover

This Emefiele matter Sha...Na one Baba dey behind all these travails

Thousands of tonnages of lithium ore available for sell at Niger state, Nigeria for 2m per ton. Dm analysis and purchase enquiry.

Let CBN reverse the recent cash policy today and peace will be everywhere.

Vote buyers won't let him rest. Baba Bullion van ain't joking.

Chai..

How Buhari's son is being "lambashed" Left and Right.?

Emefiele don run dirty deals for a set of cabals that seems more protective to him.

Out of all the thefts, the President and the cabals of the moving train's monies are safe.

Never forget that these people move our monies in voluminous catastrophes.

The whole kparapoism is Just for the Masses to have Something to Say!

Punching The Masses So Hard!!

Bad blood

Go and defend your self Mr CBN governor, why running up and down.

Aonkuuse:
These evil people are fighting back

They are against the policy he created. It is giving them sleepless nights. They can't stand the fact they will conduct free and credible elections in Nigeria, they want power at all or any cost. Last week or so, they tried to arrest Inec chairman, but it didn't work. They want to do everything within their power to stop the policy set up by Emifele. It is well
