The suspension continues as Emefiele's Arraignment for Alleged N6.9bn Procurement Fraud Faces Further Delay.

Once again, the anticipated arraignment of the suspended Central Bank of Nigeria governor, Godwin Emefiele, in connection with an alleged N6.9 billion procurement fraud, has hit a roadblock.

Initially disrupted on August 17 due to the absence of the second defendant, Sa’adatu Yaro, who was reportedly unwell, the case encountered another setback. The presiding judge, Justice Hamza Muazu, adjourned the scheduled proceedings to August 23 for the formal arraignment of the defendants.

However, perplexingly, the case was not included on the court's docket. Regrettably, the press did not explain the omission or its underlying reasons.

Moreover, noticeable by their absence were the lawyers representing both sides, compounding the situation's complexity. This series of delays has now prolonged the legal uncertainty surrounding the case and the fate of the accused parties.
