DSS ignores Court order, rearrests Emefiele

Despite order by the Federal High Court sitting in Lagos on Tuesday, the Department of State Services, DSS, has rearrested the suspended governor of the Central Bank, CBN, Godwin Emefiele.

This medium recalls that the court had earlier granted bail to Emefiele after he pleaded not guilty to the two counts charge bordering on the alleged illegal possession of firearms and ammunition.

Justice Nicholas Oweibo who granted the bail, ordered that Emefiele be remanded in prison until he fulfils his bail conditions.

However, officials of the secret police and their counterparts in the Nigerian Correctional Services were engaged in a physical fight over who would move Emefiele from the court.

A few minutes ago, officials of the DSS succeeded in taking the suspended governor of the apex bank away from the court.
