From Victor Osula, Abuja
Following an Abuja High Court Order on Thursday, the Department of State Services (DSS) has confirmed that Mr Godwin Emefiele has been charged to court in compliance with the Order.
The CEntral Bank Governor has been held incommunicado by the spy agency since his arrest on June 10, 2023 over allegations bothering on ” acts of financing terrorism, fraudulent activities and economic crimes of national dimension.”
The Public Relations Officer Peter Afunaya, said on Thursday that the Service had, in 2022, applied for a Court Order to detain him in respect of a criminal investigation.
He stated that though Emefiele 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.
He assured the public of “professionalism, justice and fairness in handling this matter and indeed the discharge of its duties within the confines of the law.”
