Embattled former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, has been released from the Kuje Correctional Centre after meeting up with his bail condition.

It was gathered that the embattled CBN governor’s release warrant was signed by a vacation judge, Justice Othman Musa on 22nd December.

Recall that Emefiele was in November, granted bail in the sum of N300 million and two sureties in like sum by Justice Hamza Muazu of the Federal Capital Territory High Court, Abuja.

However, it was said that the sureties must have certificates of occupancy and titles of properties within the Maitama District according to the Judge and the former CBN Governor was mandated to deposit all his travel documents with the registrar of the court and remain within the Abuja Municipal Council.
