Recent reports indicate that the Federal Government of Nigeria has amended the charges against the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, from six to twenty.
The amended charges were made public today during a court appearance before Justice Hamza Muazu of the FCT High Court.
The charges against Emefiele are now Criminal breach of trust, Forgery, Conspiracy to commit forgery, Procurement Fraud and Conspiracy to commit Felony.
The Court also granted the former CBN Governor permission to travel outside Abuja.
However, the court stipulated that Emefiele must remain within the country, amending his initial bail terms that restricted him to the FCT.
Having been released from Kuje Custodial Centre on December 23, 2023, he sought a review of specific aspects of his bail conditions.
