Emefiele’s bid to remove trial judge awaits appeal verdict
Former CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele is appealing a Court of Appeal Lagos Division decision after a trial judge refused to withdraw from his criminal case involving a disputed $400,000 allegation. The appeal, heard by a three-member panel, challenges the judge's ruling that allowed a leading question to a prosecution witness under the Evidence Act, which Emefiele claims shows bias and prejudgment.
