December 05, (THEWILL) – Former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele disclosed moves to approach the court for the variation of the N300 million bail granted to him by a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
A member of his legal team, who confirmed the development said, the former apex bank chief had not been able to perfect his bail conditions
“Yes. We are still on it. We hope to conclude on the bail issue before the week runs out. But, we will be asking the court for a variation in respect of one of the bail conditions where he was restricted to the court’s jurisdiction”, he said.
THEWILL reports that Emefiele, who is currently being remanded at the Kuje Correctional Centre, was on Wednesday, November 22, granted bail in the sum of N300 million.
Ruling on his bail application, Justice Hamza Muazu, directed Emefiele to deposit all his travel documents with the court while he produced two sureties with landed properties in Abuja.
Restricting Emefiele’s movement to the court’s jurisdiction, Justice Muazu ruled that he must obtain the court’s permission before he may be permitted to leave the court’s jurisdiction or outside the country
