The former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, is set to appear in a High Court in the Federal Capital Territory today to face charges related to alleged economic sabotage.
The trial, originally scheduled for yesterday, centers on accusations of conspiracy and procurement fraud brought by the Federal Government.
Emefiele is specifically accused of awarding contracts worth ₦6.9 billion to a company owned by his alleged accomplice, Saadatu Ramalan Yaro, a businesswoman.
Justice Hamza Muazu will preside over the proceedings, highlighting the gravity of the allegations against the former CBN governor.
The charges underscore the government’s commitment to addressing corruption and ensuring accountability in high-profile public positions.
