According to his lawyer, Mr Mathew Burkaa, however, disclosed that it was normal, as he is already at the Kuje Correctional Centre.<\/p>\n

Recall that the Federal Government, last Friday, arraigned Emefiele on a six-count charge bordering on alleged procurement.<\/p>\n

The original charge, which was 20 counts to the tune of N6.5 billion, was reduced to six, to the tune of N1.6 billion.<\/p>\n

It was gathered that the former CBN boss is the only defendant in the new charge.<\/p>\n
