The Department of State Services (DSS) has constituted a suit against the suspended governor of Central Bank, Mr. Godwin Emefiele.
DSS, in a statement on Thursday by Peter Afunanya, Public Relations Officer said the suit is sequel to an order of Abuja High Court today, 13th July, 2023.
The statement recalled 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 however assured the public of professionalism, justice and fairness in handling the matter and indeed the discharge of its duties within the confines of the law.
