The Maitama home of the Central Bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele, has been under police siege, The PUNCH is reporting.

The armed police officers, numbering over 10, were seen by our correspondent at about 8:40pm, Tuesday night, besieging the No. 8 Colorado Street, Maitama, Abuja home of the embattled governor of the apex bank, according to the report.

An impeccable source within the NPF, told our correspondent that the siege was in furtherance to Emefiele’s expected appearance at the Federal High Court in Abuja tomorrow, Wednesday, over a $53 million judgment debt arising from the Paris Club refund.

The source said, “The governor is expected to be in court tomorrow over the $53 million judgment debt in relation to the Paris Club refund which he’s yet to clarify.

“The police officers are not there to arrest, but they’re there to ensure that he doesn’t run away again as he did weeks ago.”

Meanwhile, the Force Headquarters and the Federal Capital Territory Police Command have denied knowledge of the siege.

When contacted, the Force Public Relations officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said, “I have no knowledge of such event. However, kindly contact the FCT Command.”
