Former Central Bank of Nigeria Governor Godwin Emefiele and his associate Henry Omoile have filed an application challenging the admissibility of a statement presented as evidence in their ongoing court case. They are asking the court to exclude the statement, claiming it was not made voluntarily. Their legal team argues the document attributed to Omoile was obtained under duress, describing it as forced and not a true reflection of his will. The defence maintains that any admission or declaration linked to Omoile cannot be relied upon if it was extracted without free consent. The prosecution has not yet responded to the motion. The case continues as the court prepares to rule on the validity of the evidence in question.
