The Department of States, DSS, has told the Federal Capital Territory High Court that the ex-governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, is a flight risk and there is credible intelligence that “he is making frantic effort to flee the country if released prematurely on bail”.
THE WHISTLER reports that Justice H. Muazu of the FCT High Court had on June 16 ordered the DSS to allow the suspended governor to be accessed by his lawyers, pending the determination of the fundamental rights application filed by his legal team represented by J.B. Daudu SAN.
