Godwin Emefiele, the beleaguered former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, has entered a not guilty plea to the charge that he authorized the printing of N684.5 million at the rate of N18.96 billion.
Emefiele made these remarks on Wednesday during his arraignment by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, before Judge Maryann Anenih of the FCT High Court in Abuja, on a four-count charge.
