An EFCC investigator testified that former Central Bank of Nigeria Governor Godwin Emefiele allegedly used associates, including a lawyer, to acquire multi-million-naira properties through proxies while serving as CBN governor. The properties, linked to Emefiele, have been recovered in various locations including Lagos, Delta, Ogun and Abuja, with their combined value exceeding his legitimate earnings.
A lawyer named Ifeanyi Omeke, who allegedly acted as a front for Emefiele, was found to have received over $2m in cash, which was also recovered by the investigators. Emefiele is facing 19 counts of alleged gratification, corrupt demands and abuse of office, along with a 3-count charge of unlawful acceptance of gifts.
