Prosecution witness clears Emefiele in graft trial

A witness for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission testified at the Abuja High Court that former Central Bank governor Godwin Emefiele did not personally benefit from the $6.2 million in question. The funds were allegedly withdrawn from the bank under the guise of paying election observers. The defense continues to challenge the prosecution's narrative regarding the former official's involvement in the financial irregularities.
