The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, on Wednesday, warned that it would issue an arrest warrant against the detained, suspended governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, over his failure to appear in court to explain circumstances surrounding the $53million judgment debt arising from the Paris Club refund. SaharaReporters had reported on June 9, that Emefiele who suspended as the CBN Governor by President Bola Tinubu was arrested by the Department of State Services (DSS).

It had been reported that Emefiele had since remained in detention facility of the Nigeria's secret police for over one month despite several court orders that directed his release. The agency reported that Emefiele’s counsel, Audu Anuga, SAN, had prayed the court to give his client another opportunity because they had been unable to reach him since the last order, directing him to appear in court.
