The High Court of Justice in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has ordered the unconditional and immediate release of the immediate-past Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele.

Justice O.A. Adeniyi gave the order after Emefiele filed a Motion Ex-parte, seeking his release from the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) pending the hearing and determination of the Originating Motion.

The applicant named the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the Attorney-General of the Federation, (AGF) the Executive Chairman of the EFCC, and the EFCC itself as the respondents.

The court order includes the following key provisions: Immediate and Unconditional Release: The court ordered the 3rd and 4th Respondents (the Executive Chairman and the EFCC) to unconditionally release Emefiele from detention forthwith. Alternatively, they are directed to produce him in court on the date fixed for the hearing of the substantive Motion on Notice, with the possibility of being admitted to bail by the Court.

On the hearing of the Substantive Motion, the court set the date for the hearing of the substantive motion on notice for Monday, November 6, 2023, at 1pm.

Nightwolf1:
Thîefnubu is worse than emefiele. The former is a criminal by nature.

MichaelSokoto:
Law does not work in Nigeria, only for d highest bidder!

TruthsFM:
Tinubu will never release him yet

LeoDeKing:
Release him unconditionally, just like that, say wetin happen?

When he was making people to buy their own money, did he unconditionally stop the nonsense?

Imagine, to withdraw 50k, about 60k must be withdrawn from your account, what nonsense?

There is nothing this bald headed he-goat was not told to relax that nonsense, but he stubbornly refused. Even ipob terrorists were all hailing him because they thought Tinubu has to withdraw cash for the election.

That agulu crook you secretly worked for will never be the president of my beloved country Nigeria. God forbid.
