Suspended Nigerian CBN Governor Emefiele challenges Ikeja court's jurisdiction over abuse of office and fraud charges.

Suspended Nigerian CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele, is challenging the jurisdiction of an Ikeja Special Offences Court to hear alleged abuse of office and multi-billion dollar fraud charges against him. Emefiele's lawyer, Olalekan Ojo, claims the court lacks the constitutional jurisdiction to hear the case, and argues that charges against the former CBN governor are unconstitutional. Emefiele's co-defendant, Henry Isioma-Omoil, is also facing trial on similar charges.
