The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has slammed a fresh charge at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory against the embattled former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele. According to the charge, EFCC accused Emefiele of approving the printing of N684,590,000 at N18.96 billion.

In a four-count charge sheet seen on Tuesday, the EFCC alleged that Emefiele broke the law with intent to harm the public during his implementation of the naira swap policy of the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari. The anti-graft agency also accused Emefiele of unlawfully approving the withdrawal of N124.8 billion from the Consolidated Revenue Fund of the Federation.

00 pieces of colour swapped N1, 000, at the total cost of N11,052, 068,062 without the recommendation of the Board of Central Bank and the strict approval of the President, Federal Republic of Nigeria which conduct of yours caused injury to the public and you thereby committed an offence', the charge partly reads. Recall that Emefiele was on November 18, 2023, arraigned before the court on six counts of procurement.
