Tinubu Government Seeks To Withdraw Arms Charges Against Emefiele by ExAngel007(op): 11:23am On Aug 15, 2023
Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) at the Federal
Ministry of Justice, Mohammed Bakodo Abubakar told
Justice Nicholas Oweibo that the application followed the
result of further investigation.

The Nigerian Government Tuesday applied to withdraw the "illegal possession of firearms" case it filed against the suspended Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Godwin Emefiele, at the Federal High Court in Lagos.

Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) at the Federal Ministry of Justice, Mohammed Bakodo Abubakar told Justice Nicholas Oweibo that the application followed the result of further investigation.

He made his application orally.

But the defence counsel, Joseph Daudu (SAN)
opposed him, arguing that because the government was in disobedience of the court's order granting Emefiele bail, its application could not be taken.

The court adjourned till August 18 for the ruling.

The judge on July 25 admitted Emefiele to N20 million bail on two counts of illegal possession of firearms and ammunition and ordered his remand at the Ikoyi Correctional Centre, pending the fulfilment of his bail conditions.

But the DSS rearrested the embattled bank chief after fighting off prison officials on the court's premises.

to agitate and humiliate the Igbos unfortunately or not, people from Emefiele's neck of the woods never agree that they're Igbo and so there's no strong ground for Ohaneze and co to speak on his behalf while the Niger Delta is rudderless in socio cultural and even political leadership right now making his case perilous to him sha, he will carry this cross himself though I doubt anybody will charge him to an open court
