The Department of State Services (DSS) has said that the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele has been charged to court in compliance with the order.
An Abuja High Court had yesterday, July 13, ordered the DSS to charge Emefiele to court within seven days or release him.
In a statement, the DSS public relations officer, Peter Afunaya, recalled that the Service had, in 2022, applied for a Court Order to detain him in respect of a criminal investigation.
The statement said that though Emefiele 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 assured the public of professionalism, justice and fairness in handling the matter in the discharge of its duties within the confines of the law.
