Cross River appeals High Court judgement

Federal High Court, Abuja

The High Court in Abuja has adjourned ruling in the bail application of Godwin Emefiele, the suspended governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to Thursday, July 13.

According to the respondents, Emefiele poses a flight risk.

The chief magistrates court of the FCT ordered the detention of Emefiele.
