BREAKING: Bola #Tinubu Government Orders Unconditional Release Of Former #CBN Gov #Emefiele—The Federal Capital Territory High Court has ordered the unconditional and immediate release of the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele.

Justice O.A. Adeniyi made the order following an ex-parte motion filed by Emefiele.

In the motion, the ex-CBN governor was seeking his release from the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) pending the hearing and determination of the originating motion.

After hearing the motion, the judge ordered Emefiele’s release.

Emefiele 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 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.

The court set the date for the hearing of the substantive motion on notice for Monday, November 6, 2023.
