The arraignment of Godwin Emefiele, suspended governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), has been adjourned to August 23.
Emefiele has been in custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) since his arrest after President Bola Tinubu suspended him on June 9.
The Federal Government withdrew the illegal possession of firearms charge it filed against suspended CBN governor and filed fresh charges.
One of the counts against Emefiele is “conferring unlawful advantages”.
The arraignment which was initially scheduled for Thursday, was stalled due to the absence of some of the defendants joined in the charge.
Emefiele who was present in court, was charged alongside Sa’adatu Yaro, a female CBN employee, and her company, April1616 Investment Limited, on 20 charges bordering on procurement fraud, conspiracy and conferring corrupt advantages.
