Emefiele is standing trial on a six-count amended charge on alleged procurement of vehicles to the tune of N1.6bn.
He had pleaded not guilty to the charges.
He was granted bail on November 17, 2023, to the tune of N300m, and two sureties and remanded at the Kuje Correctional Centre, pending when he meets his bail conditions.
Emefiele’s lawyer, Mathew Burkaa, who declined to speak on camera, said his client is yet to meet his bail conditions.
