FCT High Court grants Emefeile bail
The Federal Capital Territory High Court on Wednesday admitted the embattled former Central Bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele, to bail.
The court ordered that he should be released to his counsel and must be produced in court when needed.
The presiding judge, Justice Adeniyi, also ordered him to deposit all his travel documents with the court’s registrar.
“There must be an end to detention without trial” the judge held, stressing that it was the refusal of the Economic and Financial and Crimes Commission, EFCC, to comply with the order the court made on November 2, that led to the ruling. Besides, the court held that it could not allow Emefiele to remain in custody owing to claim of the Federal Government that he would on November 15, be arraigned on a fresh charge. (NAN)
