The Federal Government has filed another charges against the Former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, at a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FTC) Abuja, SAVANNAH NEWS REPORTS.
Federal Government has withdrawn the ‘illegal possession of firearms’ charge it filed against the suspended CBN governor at the Federal High Court Ikoyi, Lagos.
In a oral application by the director of public prosecutions (DPP), Mohammed Bakodo informed Justice Nicholas Oweibo that the application for withdrawal of the charge followed the result of further investigations.
Joseph Daudu (SAN), opposed the application, arguing that because the government was in disobedience of the court’s order granting Emefiele bail, its application should not be taken.
Joseph Daudu is the Defence counsel.
Recall DSS had earlier re-arrested the former CBN boss after fighting off Nigeria Correctional Service officials at the court premises.
Abubakar while speaking with newsmen after Tuesday’s hearing said the fresh charges with 20 counts were filed at a Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court.
