DSS CONFIRMS CHARGING EMEFIELE TO COURT

The Department of State Services confirms that the suspended CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele has been charged to court in compliance with the Order of FCT high court.

A statement by the DSS spokesperson Dr Peter Afunanya says the Service had, in 2022, applied for a Court Order to detain him in respect of a criminal investigation. Though Mr Emefiele had 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 and 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
