 Suspended Central Bank of Nigeria, Governor Gaudrin Emefele has been arraigned at a federal high court sitting in Ikoi Lagos on two counts of illegal possession of firearms and ammunition. He was brought to the court by officials of the Department of State Services at 9.21 a.m. The suspended CBN buzz was arraigned before the vacation judge, Justice Nicholas Oweba, from the President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Joseph Daudu, led other lawyers in Emefele's defense. He, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges brought against him. After the plea, Daudu, a senior advocate of Nigeria, told the court that his client has been in detention for weeks. He also told Justice Oweba that the application for bail has been filed and served on the prosecution. Emefele would later ask the court to admit him to bail on self-recognizant, but the court has not ruled on the matter.
