The suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Godwin Emefiele today Thursday appeared before a federal high court in Abuja for arraignment.
Emefiele was brought in from the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) where he has been since he was suspended from office on June 9, 2023.
He appeared in a blue kaftan.
However, the suspended CBN Governor did not want his face captured and tried to hide as the journalists also struggled to have him on camera.
The defence counsel for suspended Central Bank of Nigeria governor, Godwin Emefiele, shielded him from the journalists after his court session.
Emefiele, who has been in detention since his suspension on June 9, 2023, was accused of conferring corrupt advantages on Yaro, a director in April 1616 Investment Ltd.
In the video clip, the embattled suspended apex bank chief could be seen dodging journalists who had already surrounded him while he received a call in the witness box.
After his call, Emefiele attempted to exit the courtroom with his head bowed but was advised against this by his lawyers who escorted him out.
