THERE seems to be more troubles for the suspended former Governor of Central Bank, Godwin Emefiele as Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court Abuja threatened him with warrant of arrest over his failure to appear in court to explain the circumstances surrounding the $53 million judgement debt arising from the Pars Club refund.
Justice Ekwo, who ordered Emefiele to appear on the next adjourned date, said he was minded to exercise restraint in the proceeding to give the ex-CBN boss an opportunity to explain himself.
The development occurred following an intervention by the counsel to Emefiele, Audu Anuga, who prayed for the court to give his client another opportunity, due to the fact that they had been unable to reach him since the last order, directing him to appear in court.
Anuga told the court that Emefiele, who was suspended as CBN governor, had been in detention. He added that all efforts to reach him to communicate the directive of the court to him were unsuccessful.
