尼日利亚前央行行长因检方多次不出庭而寻求驳回欺诈指控;案件延期至2025年10月22日. Former Nigerian central bank governor seeks to dismiss fraud charges due to prosecution’s repeated no-shows; case adjourned to Oct. 22, 2025.

尼日利亚前中央银行行长Godwin Emefiele曾要求阿布贾高等法院以检方一再缺席为由,驳回对他提出的采购欺诈指控。 Former Central Bank of Nigeria Governor Godwin Emefiele has asked an Abuja high court to dismiss charges against him over alleged procurement fraud, citing repeated absences by the prosecution. Emefiele在2018年至2022年期间,面对20项罪名,包括与价值约12亿奈拉的合同有关的违反信任和伪造行为,表示不认罪。 Facing 20 counts including breach of trust and forgery linked to contracts worth about N1.2 billion between 2018 and 2022, Emefiele pleaded not guilty. 他的律师辩称,负责调查此案的欧洲金融犯罪委员会尽管知道审讯日期,却未能出庭,引起了对权威和拖延的担忧。 His lawyer argued the EFCC, which investigated the case, failed to appear despite knowing the hearing date, raising concerns about authority and delays. 法院由哈姆扎·穆阿祖法官主持,给予检方最后一次出庭机会,将案件延期至2025年10月22日,警告如果他们不出庭,将予以开除。 The court, presided over by Justice Hamza Muazu, granted the prosecution one final chance to appear, adjourning the case to October 22, 2025, warning of dismissal if they fail to attend.
