Ex-CBN governor, Mr. Godwin Emefiele.
Emefiele, the sole defendant, appeared in court and pleaded not guilty to the charges.

The charges focused on alleged procurement fraud.

Emefiele was accused of illegally purchasing 43 vehicles between 2018 and 2020 valued at N1.2 billion. Additionally, he allegedly awarded a contract for 37 Toyota Hilux Vehicles worth N854 million.

One charge stated that Emefiele, while serving as CBN Governor, granted undue favor to Sa’adatu Ramallan Yaro, a CBN staff, by awarding a contract worth N854,700,000 to April1616 Investment Ltd., a company in which Yaro was a director.

Similar accusations were made regarding a Toyota Avalon worth N99,900,000 and a Toyota Landcruiser V8 valued at N73,800,000, both awarded to the same company.

The allegations also included awarding contracts to Yaro for two Toyota Hilux Shell Specification Vehicles costing N44,200,000 in 2020.

The case is adjourned until November 22 for a ruling on Emefiele’s bail application and November 28 for the trial’s start. In the interim, the court ordered Emefiele’s remand at the Kuje Correctional Centre.

Here’s the breakdown of the vehicles and their alleged prices mentioned in the information:

1. 37 Toyota Hilux Vehicles – Valued at ₦854,700,000.

I Think Emefiele is a Bigger Thief Than Dieziani

gist after gist

The real thieves are not only walking free, they are ruling the land.

I Think Emefiele is a Bigger Thief Than Dieziani

You and I know that this is far more of political witch hunt than justice.

Meanwhile, Emefiele is my MSCBGOAT (most stupid central bank governor of all time).

But Tinubu could not charge him in court?

Emefiele is being persecuted not because of corruption but because he has an Igbo sounding name. If these clown are really serious, there are enough people from the last junta who should be arrested and you'll raise enough cash from them to fund your luxury yatchs and multi billion naira cars for Iyawo without taking any loan or breaking any sweat. These people are using Emefiele to entertain agbado imbeciles and not me

If he awarded it to emeka now you would complain ...and say he is funnelling funds to Ipob ... Now he is doing one Nigeria, you are still complaining.

What does he need all those vehicles for?

Rubbish, Tinubu knows what he is looking for. Does the governor procure vehicles?

It is good to fight corruption but fight corruption that does not wear the colour of witch hunt then you will be applauded and taken serious.

Let him rot in jail.....I no want say too much

I don't think emefiele is the only criminal.We have the minister of finance under Buhari who was only coming out to speak when she had bad news about the economy.She spent money from the federal reserved without approval from the national assembly.

We have the minister of humanitarian who was feeding school children when there was a COVID-19 lockdown.She was also sharing conditional cash transfer to ghost vulnerable people.

The minister of State for labour ,keyamo,who got ₦50b to pay unemployed youths in the 774000 local government but ended up buying mansions in USA with the people's money.

Some of these criminals are appointed as ministers under Tinubu.It is only emefiele that is the scapegoat because he worked against Tinubu s plan to bribe the electorates for their votes

As usual, propaganda 😅🤕🤕😅

Rubbish

What is 4 cars to someone who was MD of Zenith before he resigned to serve his country?

These evil people are just looking for any trumped up charge to hang on his neck.. they first charged him for gun running cause they said they saw one rusty single barrel (not even double barrel!!) gun somewhere around his house

Of course for same APC campaign

This sounds bad if true but then for how much did SLS construct a building in ABU Zaria?

He was a billionaire before he became CBN governor

Typical inferiority complex blame mentality from the people of the land of rising wailers.

nnatobryno:

So, who awarded the contracts for the procurement of the vehicles??

RepoMan007:

It’s not about the cost but about the process. There are laid down rules as captured in the Public procurement act for procuring anything in the public service. Violating any of the rule is a criminal offense that comes with 5 years in jail.
