Emefiele pleaded not guilty during his arraignment yesterday by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on a four-count charge before Justice Maryann Anenih of the FCT High Court, Abuja.

In the charge before the court, the EFCC alleged that Emefiele disobeyed the direction of law with intent to cause injury to 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 Federation’s Consolidated Revenue Fund.

Moving his application for bail, his counsel, Mahmud Magaji, SAN, asked the court to grant him bail on self-recognition and on the same grounds and conditions of bail already granted him by a sister court led by Justice Hamza Muazu.

He added that Emefiele would always be present in court to face trial.
