While a section of the Nigerian Police is laying siege to the Maitama home of Central Bank Governor Godwin Emefiele, another section of the police has denied being aware of the siege.
Presently, a group of police officers is occupying the Maitama home of Central Bank Governor Godwin Emefiele.
The armed police officers, numbering over 10, besieged the troubled governor of the apex bank’s residence at No. 8 Colorado Street, Maitama, Abuja, at around 8:40 p.m. on Tuesday, according to Punch.
According to a reliable source within the NPF, the siege was initiated in anticipation of Emefiele’s upcoming appearance before the Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday for a $53 million judgement obligation related to the Paris Club refund.
The governor is anticipated to appear in court tomorrow on the $53 million judgement debt related to the Paris Club reimbursement, which he has yet to explain, according to the source.

The cops are not there to arrest him; rather, they are watching to make sure he doesn’t flee again like he did a few weeks ago.
The Federal Capital Territory Police Command and Force Headquarters, however, have denied knowing about the siege.
The Police Force Public Relations officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, responded when approached, saying, “I have no information of such event. Please reach out to the FCT Command, though.
When contacted by our journalist, the FCT PPRO, Josephine Adeh, also denied being aware of the siege.
“I don’t know anything about police officers encircling the CBN governor’s home,” Adeh remarked. You might get in touch with Force Headquarters.
