In the Federal High Court, Lagos, the suspended governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has fervently denied the charge of illegal possession of firearms brought against him by the federal ministry of Justice.
Arraigned on two counts of unlicensed possession of firearms, the former president of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Joseph Daudu (SAN), is leading a team of lawyers to defend the accused.
Simultaneously, the court witnessed a significant development as the Coalition of Nigerian Civil Society sought permission to observe the arraignment of Emefiele.
Represented by five senior lawyers, the group asserted its position in support of democracy and was granted permission by the court to closely monitor the proceedings from the back seats.
