Godwin Emefiele shocked many Nigerians on Tuesday by arriving the federal high court in Ikoyi, Lagos, around 9:18am on Tuesday, clutching the Bible. 

Emefiele is the suspended governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

The King James Version (KJV) of the holy book was tucked inside a red paperback.

Emefiele will be arraigned before Nicholas Oweibo, the presiding judge, over alleged “illegal possession of firearms”.

On June 9, President Bola Tinubu suspended Emefiele and asked him to transfer his responsibilities to Folashodun Adebisi Shonubi, deputy governor, operations directorate.

The day after, the DSS announced that Emefiele was in its custody for “some investigative reasons”.
