The Department of State Services (DSS) has finally brought suspended Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor Godwin Emefiele to court on charges of illegal possession of firearms.
Infopowerng reports that DSS operatives arrived at the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos, around 9:18 am.
Recall that Emefiele was scheduled to be arraigned before Nicholas Oweibo, the presiding judge.
The charges against Emefiele stem from his alleged possession of a single-barrel shotgun and 123 rounds of live ammunition without a license. The DSS claims to have recovered the weapons from Emefiele’s home in Ikoyi on June 15, 2023.
The Federal Government, which is prosecuting him, maintained that the possession of a gun was contrary to Section 4 of the Firearms Act, 2004, and punishable under Section 27 (1b) of the same Act. The government also said his possession of 123 rounds of live ammunition (Cartridges) without a licence is contrary to Section 8 of the Firearms Act 2004 and punishable under Section 27 (1)(b)(il) of the same Act.
Godwin Emefiele was appointed governor of the CBN in 2014.
He was suspended by President Bola Tinubu on 9th June 2023 and later arrested by the DSS.

Illegal Possession of Firearms!
Very funny. This ruinous ruling class knows how to protect its own.
No corruption charges and abuses of office for a sitting Governor of the Central Bank who paid N100 Million Naira to buy a Political Party Presidential Nomination Form.
A man who Unleashed harrowing and untold hardship even deaths in some instances has no accusation to face!
I only pity those who have an illusion in the present civilian administration and the System.
The governance in Nigeria since the flag of independence has been for the few rich men and not for the majority -the People.
The arrangement of the Central Bank Governor to the court and the ensuing drama at the Federal High Court is an orchestrated plot to delude the People.
Forward to System change and Governance for the People .
