The Economic and financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) will on May 15 arraign former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor Godwin Emefiele in a Federal Capital Territory court on a three-count amended charge.
In the fresh charge filed against him, the EFCC alleged that Emefiele disobeyed the direction of law with intent to cause injury to the public during his implementation of the naira swap policy of the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
The anti-graft agency also accused Emefiele of unlawfully approving the withdrawal of N124.8 billion from the Consolidated Revenue Fund of the Federation.
The arraignment was earlier slated before Justice Maryan Anenih.However, all the parties were not present in court when the matter, was called.
The court said that the prosecution sent a letter seeking for adjournment because Emefiele was standing trial in another court in Lagos.
The judge therefore adjourned until May 15 for the arraignment.
