News Investigators/ A former governor, Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, on Tuesday prayed a an Abuja High Court to foreclose the prosecution in his ongoing trial over alleged procurement fraud.
At the resumed hearing of the case , Emefiele’s counsel, Mathew Burkaa SAN, urged the court to foreclose the prosecution .
He further told the court that Emefiele and his lawyers were coming from Lagos to attend the trial.
Burkaa, therefore, urged the court to foreclose the prosecution as there was no application from the Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation for adjournment.
He added that the court would do the needful should the prosecution fail to appear in court at the next adjourned date.
