NLC, TUC Strike Stalls Arraignment of Ex-CBN Gov, Emefiele

The industrial action embarked upon by the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria, JUSUN at the Federal Capital Territory High Court branch, has stalled the arraignment of the former Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele.

VOP News gathered that JUSUN directed its members to join the industrial action by the NLC and the TUC.

Justice Olukayode Adeniyi had last week granted Emefiele bail.

He ordered that he should be released immediately to his lawyers, who are charged with the responsibility of producing him in court for his arraignment today (Wednesday) or on any other day.

The DSS in August withdrew its charges against Emefiele.

The secret police freed the embattled ex-bank chief on October 26, just as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) detained him the same day.

The EFCC had failed to produce Emefiele in court last Monday, but bowed to the court’s order and produced the former CBN chief court last Wednesday for the hearing of his bail application.

The judge granted Emefiele bail last week, and was expected to be in court today to take his plea
