The Federal High Court in Abuja has again summoned Godwin Emefiele, governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), over a $53 million judgement debt arising from the Paris Club refunds.
Inyang Ekwo, the presiding judge, on Tuesday, insisted that the court will not hear Emefiele’s motion for stay until he appears before it.
Ekwo said the court would not entertain the motion for stay until Emefiele appears before it.
“I am not going to hear you on this application until Mr Godwin Emefiele appears in court,” the judge said.
“Therefore, I am going to give you a date for you to report to the court in compliance with the order of the court.
“Upon being aware that the motion for stay of execution is a live matter in this court, this court shall not hear that application unless and until Mr Godwin Emefiele who has been ordered to appear in court appears in court.
The case was adjourned to July 19.
