The suspended Central Bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele, has been remanded in Kuje correctional centre until Nov 22 by an Abuja High Court on Friday.
Justice Hamza Muazu gave the order and adjourned until Nov. 22 when Emefiele’s bail application will be heard.
Emefiele was arraigned by the Federal Government on a six-count charge bordering on procurement.
