Former Nigerian central bank governor seeks to dismiss fraud charges due to prosecution’s repeated no-shows; case adjourned to Oct. 22, 2025.
Former Central Bank of Nigeria Governor Godwin Emefiele has asked an Abuja high court to dismiss charges against him over alleged procurement fraud, citing repeated absences by the prosecution.
Facing 20 counts including breach of trust and forgery linked to contracts worth about N1.2 billion between 2018 and 2022, Emefiele pleaded not guilty.
His lawyer argued the EFCC, which investigated the case, failed to appear despite knowing the hearing date, raising concerns about authority and delays.
The court, presided over by Justice Hamza Muazu, granted the prosecution one final chance to appear, adjourning the case to October 22, 2025, warning of dismissal if they fail to attend.
