The trial of a former Governor of the Central Bank, Godwin Emefiele, was stalled on Friday after his lawyers sought an adjournment following the service of additional proof of evidence served on them in court by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The trial judge, Justice Rahman Oshodi, granted the adjournment after he agreed with the defence team that the reasons given for the adjournment had merit. The judge adjourned till May 9th for a continuation of the cross-examination of the second prosecution witness, John Ayoh, a former Director of Information Technology of the CBN.
Godwin Emefiele is facing a 26-count charge before the court, alongside his co-defendant, Henry Omoile, over allegations of $4.5 billion dollars and N2.8 billion dollars fraud brought against them by the EFCC.
