The embattled former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emeifele, has been produced in court.

The  Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) operatives on Wednesday brought him to the Federal High Court, Abuja.

The EFCC had failed to comply with the order of the Court directing it to produce Emefiele in court on Monday or release him unconditionally.

Following the disobedience by the commission, the court restated its order and adjourned proceedings till Wednesday.

However, EFCC complied with the order as Emefiele was led into the court by heavily armed operatives.

The judge was yet to sit as of press time.
