Godwin Emefiele, suspended governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), arrived at the federal high court in Ikoyi, Lagos, around 9:18am on Tuesday, clutching the Bible.

The King James Version (KJV) of the holy book was tucked inside a red paperback.

Emefiele will be arraigned before Nicholas Oweibo, the presiding judge, over alleged “illegal possession of firearms”.

On June 9, President Bola Tinubu suspended Emefiele and asked him to transfer his responsibilities to Folashodun Adebisi Shonubi, deputy governor, operations directorate.

The day after, the DSS announced that Emefiele was in its custody for “some investigative reasons”.

See some photos as Emefiele made his way into the courtroom today.

  1. Why are people fond of making mokery of Religion whenever they are in trouble and seeking people sympathy? How can Godwin be holding a Bible going into the court? All his monetary policies that killed people were against his Christian religion.
