The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission is set to arraign former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele.
The federal government in a 20 count charge is accusing the former CBN governor of illegally procuring 98 vehicles and armoured buses to the tune of N9.6 billion.
Mr Emefiele who is currently on bail, had filed a fundamental rights enforcement suit at the FCT high court challenging his illegal detention by the DSS and the EFCC.
