Youth groups applaud court ruling in favour of Emefiele’s wife

The Ohanaeze Youth Consultative Movement and Arewa Youth Consultative Movement have praised the Federal High Court in Lagos for nullifying the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission order declaring Margaret Emefiele, wife of former Central Bank Governor Godwin Emefiele, wanted. The court also directed the EFCC to pay her N3 million in damages and issue a public apology.

In a joint statement from Obinna Egondu and Kabiru Yusuf, the youth leaders hailed the judgement as a triumph for justice and the rule of law, underscoring the judiciary’s role as the defender of the common man against the interference of powerful individuals and institutions.

The groups stressed that the judgement serves as a deterrent to other individuals and institutions that might consider engaging in similar actions against anyone.
