The Department of State Services, DSS, has confirmed that former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele has been charged to court in compliance with an Abuja High Court Order.
A statement by the Public Relations Officer
Department of State Services National Headquarters Abuja, Dr. Peter Afunanya, assured the public that it would be professional, just and fairn in handling the matter and in the discharge of its duties within the confines of the law.
The statement recalled that the Service had, in 2022, applied for a Court Order to detain Emefiele in respect of a criminal investigation but he obtained a restraining order from an FCT High Court.
The Service, however, arrested him in June, 2023, on the strength of fresh criminal infractions/information, one of which forms the basis for his current prosecution, the statement concluded.
