George Emefiele, the brother of suspended Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor Godwin Emefiele, has described the outcome of events in court earlier on Tuesday as a total humiliation.
The Federal Ministry of Justice has previously charged Emefiele with illegal possession of firearms and ammunition, according to media reports.
During the ruling on Tuesday, Emefiele pled not guilty to the charges brought against him by the secret police.

The court granted him bail in the amount of N20 million. Following the court’s decision, Joseph Daudu’s counsel expressed concern that the DSS would rearrest his client.
Despite the court’s decision, a battle erupted between DSS agents and prison officials over who would take Emefiele into custody.
Speaking to journalists after the reinstatement of the contentious suspended governor, George stated that his brother is not fleeing Nigeria.
He claims that as someone who has served Nigeria for nine years, he has no cause to flee the nation.
He said, “It is unfortunate that this is happening in Nigeria, a democratic nation. A nation that is built with people of integrity. Here we are today; three courts have said release him on bail, he is not running away from Nigeria.
