Department of State Services (DSS) says it charged the former Governor og Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, to Court, following an order by an Abuja High Court.
On Thursday, Justice Hamza Muazu issued a one-week ultimatum to DSS to charge Emefiele to Court or set him free.
Shortly after the Court’s ruling, DSS Spokesperson, Peter Afunanya, disclosed that Emefiele had been charged to Court in compliance.
“The public may recall that the Service had, in 2022, applied for a Court Order to detain him in respect of a criminal investigation. Though he obtained a restraining Order from an FCT High Court, the Service, however, arrested him in June 2023, on the strength of suspected fresh criminal infractions/information, one of which forms the basis for his current prosecution.
“The Service assures the public of professionalism, justice and fairness in handling this matter and indeed the discharge of its duties within the confines of the law.”
