FG Moves To Withdraw Firearms Case Against Emefiele, Files Fresh Charge

The Federal Government has applied to withdraw the “illegal possession of firearms” case it filed against the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, at the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi.

The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) at the Federal Ministry of Justice, Mohammed Abubakar told Justice Nicholas Oweibo that the application followed the result of further investigations.

He made his application orally.

But defense counsel, Joseph Daudu (SAN) opposed him, arguing that because the government was in disobedience of the court’s order granting Emefiele bail, its application could not be taken.

On the twenty fifth of July, Emefiele was arraigned on a two-count charge bordering on “illegal possession of firearms” at the same court.

LCC To Resume Toll Operations At Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge

The Lekki Concession Company (LCC) has announced the commencement of toll operations at the Lekki-Ikoyi link bridge plaza in Lagos.

LCC had suspended operations at the Lekki tollgate after the shooting of protesters during the #EndSARS protest on October 20, 2020.

Some facilities at the toll plaza were also destroyed during the protest.

In February 2021, the state judicial panel had approved the reopening of the tollgate, but the ruling met objections in some quarters.

In a statement, the company said tolling operations will commence on April 1.

The LCC said commuters plying the road will not pay any toll for the first two weeks until 15th April 2022 “as this period would be toll-free to all motorists plying the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge”.

According to Yomi Omomuwasan, LCC’s managing director, the resumption of services at the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge Toll Plaza is coming after extensive consultations with key stakeholders including the residents’ associations, traditional rulers and community leaders, professional bodies, as well as the Lagos government.
