BREAKING: Court Gives DSS One Week To Sue Emefiele Or Release Him

The Federal Capital Territory High Court sitting in Maitama, Abuja has given the Department of States Services, DSS, seven days to charge the suspended Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, to court or release him from detention.

The embattled governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria had sued the Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation and the Department of State Services, DSS for arresting and detaining him in a commando style, alleging the agencies were carrying out a political witch-hunt against him due to his “people-oriented financial policies which several political actors are not comfortable with and are now looking for any means to scandalize and smear his image and reputation.”
