BREAKING: FG Loses Bid In Court Against Emefiele (DETAILS)

The Lagos Federal High Court has rejected the Federal Government’s claim that it did not receive the bail application filed by the suspended Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Godwin Emefiele, in his alleged gun possession trial.

Justice Nicholas Oweibo ruled that there was evidence of the government being served with the application. Emefiele’s lawyers, led by Joseph Dauda (SAN), had asked the court to hear the bail application seeking self recognizance, stating that all necessary conditions for the application had been fulfilled.

They presented proof of service endorsed by the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF). On the other hand, the government’s lawyer, Nkiru Jones-Nebo, mentioned that they hadn’t received the application due to the absence of the AGF in the country.

However, the court dismissed the objections and proceeded to hear the suspended CBN Governor’s bail application.
