Sequel to an Abuja High Court Order of 13th July, 2023, the Department of State Services (DSS) said the former Governor of the Central Bank, Mr Godwin Emefiele has been charged to court in compliance with the Order.
This was contained in a statement issued on Thursday by Peter Afunanya, DSS Public Relations Officer.
“The public may recall 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 assures the public of professionalism, justice and fairness in handling this matter and indeed the discharge of its duties within the confines of the law. “
