In the charge marked ID/23787c/2024 and dated April 3, 2024, the EFCC alleged that he abused his office between 2022 and 2023 in Lagos.

Recall that Emefiele is currently undergoing prosecution by the EFCC at the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court in Abuja for alleged involvement in fraudulent financial transactions while serving as CBN governor.
