The Federal Capital Territory High Court has granted the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, 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. Justice Hamza Muazu of the FCT High Court reviewed the arguments presented in this matter. Emefiele, facing six counts of procurement fraud amounting to ₦1.2 billion, sought this modification through his lawyer, Mathew Bukka. Notably, this marks the first instance of Emefiele appearing in court without a heavy armed security escort.
