The former Central Bank Governor Godwin Emefiele has been granted bail in the sum of N50 million after facing charges related to alleged abuse of office.
Emefiele faced a 26-count charge, with accusations ranging from irregular allocation of funds to abuse of authority.
The charges against Emefiele highlight the alleged irregular allocation of $4.5 billion and N2.8 billion. These accusations have drawn significant attention, given Emefiele’s prominent role in the country’s central banking system.
