The Federal Capital Territory High Court has dismissed a request by former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, (CBN), Godwin Emefiele which sought leave to access his international passport to enable him to travel to the United Kingdom for a follow-up medical check-up.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had on March 2024, told the Federal Capital Territory High Court, that Emefiele and nine other officials at the apex bank were involved in allegedly approving multi-billion contracts to his wife, Margaret, brother-in-law and staff of the apex bank, Sa`adatu Ramallan Yaro.
The EFCC’s legal team equally opposed Emefiele’s application to travel out.
