EFCC accuses Emefiele of impersonating Buhari's SGF
Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that EFCC was enmeshed in another legal battle as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) amended its charges against him for the third time.
The EFCC, in the amended charges before Justice Hamza Muazu of the Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja on Thursday, January 18, alleged that Emefiele illegally obtained a sum of $6.2m by impersonating former secretary to the state government (SGF), Boss Mustapha.
Legit.ng earlier reported how Mustapha denied the claim that he conspired with Emefiele to withdraw the sum of $6.2m under the guise of funding foreign election observer missions. Mustapha served as the SGF in the second term of the immediate past president Muhammadu Buhari and has vowed to submit himself for investigation if needed.
