Recent reports suggested that Emefiele had entered into a plea bargain arrangement with the government, agreeing to surrender N50 billion in exchange for his early release from the Department of State Services (DSS) custody. Additionally, it was alleged that this plea bargain would result in the termination of the former CBN chief’s trial.
