The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had arraigned the former bank chief on a six-count amended charge.

Mathew Burkaa, SAN, his counsel, had moved the application for his bail but Rotimi Oyedepo, the EFCC counsel, opposed on behalf of the Federal Government.

After listening arguments, Justice Muazu said he needed a little time to study the exhibits supplied by Emefiele to support his request for bail.
He thereafter adjourned the case till November 22, 2023. (Pieced together from reports by NAN and Daily Trust)
