Federal Capital Territory High Court, Abuja, has adjourned an alleged procurement fraud case involving ex-Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele.

The court adjourned the trial of the ex-bank chief to January 18 and 19, 2024 for continuation of trial.

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.
