Court Summons Emefiele Over $53m Paris Club Debt by adenigga(op): 10:30pm On Jan 17, 2023
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?..... grin
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.

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.

Re: Court Summons Emefiele Over $53m Paris Club Debt by STEWpid(f):
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!!

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
