The Federal High Court in Lagos State has summoned the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Mr Godwin Emefiele, over a judgment of N200m against the Nigeria Police Force.
The court, in a February 13, 2020 order by Justice C.J. Aneke, said Emefiele and four others must appear in court on February 20 to explain why they should not be sent to prison for alleged contempt of court.
The court granted the plaintiff, Mr Ibrahim Kabiru, a leave to commence contempt proceedings against them.Kabiru, through his lawyer, Mr Olukoya Ogungbeje, had accused Emefiele and others of frustrating the execution of a N200m judgment, which he secured against the Nigeria Police Force in November 2016.
