A federal capital territory high court has ordered the Department of State Services (DSS) to charge Godwin Emefiele, suspended governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), to court if they have criminal allegations against him.
The presiding judge, Hamza Muazu, said the former CBN governor should be released on bail if he is not taken to a competent court within one week.
Recall that President Bola Tinubu suspended and asked Emefiele to transfer his responsibilities to Folashodun Adebisi Shonubi, deputy governor, operations directorate on June 9.
The day after, the DSS announced that Emefiele was in its custody for “some investigative reasons”. Through his lawyer, Joseph Daudu, Emefiele filed a suit against the DSS and the attorney-general of the federation (AGF) seeking to enforce his fundamental rights.
