Ooni of Ife visits Emefiele in Kuje Prison
The Ooni of Ife, Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, has gone to the Kuje Maximum Security Prison in Abuja to visit former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele.
A source in the prison, (now referred to as correctional centre) hinted DAILY POST that the monarch visited on two occasions on Tuesday, 5th December.
The source told DAILY POST that the monarch had visited the facility in the afternoon and also returned to the correctional centre some hours later.
It was gathered that on both occasions, the monarch had long discussions with the embattled former CBN governor.
Following the discussions, the monarch called for the release of Emefiele, who is still behind bars due to his inability to meet the terms of the N300 million bail imposed on him by a court.
Following his inability to meet the bail condition, the former CBN governor will be staying in the correctional centre until 2024.
