Emefiele faces multiple allegations related to procurement fraud, including conferring unfair advantages on two companies: April 1616 Nigeria Ltd and Architekon Nigeria Ltd.

During the trial, prosecution witness Stephen Gana, who served as the former head of procurement at CBN, testified that Emefiele's companies received preferential treatment in vehicle procurement contracts.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has brought a 20-count amended charge against former Central Bank of Nigeria governor Godwin Emefiele, alleging serious crimes including criminal breach of trust and forgery.

Gana confirmed that the CBN acquired Toyota vehicles worth N99,900,000 from April 1616 Company Ltd through direct procurement, bypassing the selective bidding process.

He detailed that two Toyota Hilux vehicles were procured at N23.1 million each through selective bidding, with April 1616 winning the contract by submitting the lowest bid.

Specific allegations against Emefiele include forging a Presidential Directive on Foreign Election Observer Missions and unlawfully favoring the aforementioned companies.

Gana explained that contracts at the CBN could be awarded through either direct procurement or selective bidding, guided by the procurement department's leadership.

The defense counsel challenged the prosecution's amended proof of evidence, leading to the adjournment of the case until November 13, 2024.

While the defense did not formally object to the adjournment, they expressed concerns about the high costs associated with moving for the trial.

Prosecution counsel Rotimi Oyedepo requested the adjournment to a date other than October 22, citing his attendance at another case in the Supreme Court.

Gana is also involved in another case against the EFCC filed by Kogi and 15 other states in the Supreme Court.

This case underscores the EFCC's commitment to combatting procurement fraud and corruption in Nigeria.
