Policemen Spotted At Emefiele’s Abuja Home

Category: Nigeria News

Controversy has surrounded the presence of a team of policemen at the Federal Capital Territory home of the Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, Godwin Emefiele.

The armed police officers, numbering over 10, were seen by Punch correspondent around 8.40pm, Tuesday, at the Maitama, Abuja home of the embattled governor of the apex bank.

A credible source in the Nigeria Police Force told a Punch correspondent that the presence of the policemen was in furtherance to Emefiele’s expected appearance at the Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday (today) over a $53m judgment debt arising from the Paris Club refund.

The source said, “The police officers are not there to arrest, but to ensure that he doesn’t run away again as he did weeks ago.”

The news medium as of the time of filing this report, could not independently verify if the policemen were at the house to provide enhanced security for the CBN governor or to ensure he attended the court sitting as claimed.
