Former Nigerian central bank governor Godwin Emefiele faces fraud charges over alleged misuse of billions via proxy accounts; court rules trial can proceed.
Former Central Bank of Nigeria governor Godwin Emefiele faces fraud charges over alleged misuse of billions in proxy accounts at Zenith Bank, including a housing estate in Abuja.
At a recent hearing, the EFCC’s first witness, a bank compliance officer, admitted he could not link Emefiele to the accounts, did not know the account owners, and had no prior knowledge of testifying.
Emefiele’s defense challenged the court’s jurisdiction, arguing insufficient evidence ties him to the alleged crimes.
The prosecution maintains a connection exists, and the court ruled the trial should continue, adjourning proceedings to November 26, 2025.
