Nigerian anti-graft agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commision (EFCC) has produced former Central Bank Governor Godwin Emefiele at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory ahead of the hearing of his fundamental rights enforcement suit against the agency.

Counsel of the EFCC had on Monday informed the court that the agency couldn’t act on the order made on November 2 for his unconditional release because the counsel for the former Central Bank chief provided incomplete court documents with respect to the said order.

Justice Olukayode Adeniyi had given the order following an Ex-Parte application by the former CBN bank Chief who was arrested by the EFCC shortly after he was released from custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) late October.

Emefiele’s counsel, Matthew Burkaa had informed the Court that his client as of Monday had been in custody for 149 days, and it’s now looking likely that he may regain his freedom on the 151st day being this Wednesday.
