Emefiele has been charged to court, DSS claims

The suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele has been charged to court, the Department of State Services (DSS) claimed on Thursday.

Ripples Nigeria reports that an Abuja High Court had on Thursday ordered the DSS to either release Emefiele or charge him to court.

While reacting to the order of the court, Peter Afunanya, the spokesperson of the DSS, in a statement, said the service had in 2022 applied for a court order to detain Emefiele but noted that he got another order stopping the DSS from arresting him.
