EFCC Tried to Force Emefiele’s Co-Defendant to Implicate Him, Defence Witness Tells Court
A defence witness has told a Lagos court that the EFCC attempted to coerce Henry Omoile, co-defendant of ex-CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele, to falsely implicate him in a multi-billion-dollar corruption case. Lawyer Nnamdi Offial alleged that investigators promised bail and non-prosecution if Omoile cooperated, dictated his statements, and blocked answers that did not suit their narrative. He said Omoile was detained for 21 days after refusing. Under cross-examination, Offial admitted no formal complaint was filed and that no physical abuse occurred.
