BREAKING: FG Fights Back After Court Granted Emefiele Right To Travel Out

The Federal Government of Nigeria has fought back after the court granted former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele the leave to travel out of Abuja.

The Federal Government swiftly modified the charges against Emefiele, expanding the count from six to twenty. This adjustment was disclosed during a court session before Justice Hamza Muazu of the FCT High Court on Thursday.

The revised charges against Emefiele now include Criminal Breach of Trust, Forgery, Conspiracy to Commit Forgery, Procurement Fraud, and Conspiracy to Commit Felony among others.

Having amended and increased the number of charges against him, it is not clear if the Federal Government will push against the leave granted to Emefiele to travel out of Abuja with a view to stopping hi from leaving the FCT.
