Court Hears EFCC Witness Clear Emefiele of $6.2M CBN Fund Theft

At Thursday’s hearing in the FCT High Court, EFCC witness Commissioner Okpoziakpo Eloho testified that there is no evidence showing former CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele benefited from the alleged $6.23 million stolen from the bank. Eloho said that during a December 13 statement at Kuje Correctional Centre, Emefiele denied ever approving or authorising the release of the funds. He also disowned the signature on the documents and said he received no related letter from the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation. The court has reserved ruling on EFCC’s digital evidence and granted Emefiele leave for a forensic review of his WhatsApp chats and iPhone records.
