Judge Kicks As DSS Blocks Emefiele From Lawyers, Family

News

A Federal High Court sitting in Maitama, Abuja, has ordered the Department of State Services (DSS) to allow Godwin Emefiele, the suspended governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), to consult his lawyers and have access to his family.

 

The presiding judge, Hamza Muazu, gave the order on Friday after an application by Emefiele’s counsel, Joseph Daudu.

 

President Bola Tinubu had suspended Emefiele last Friday, and directed him to transfer his responsibilities to Folashodun Adebisi Shonubi, deputy governor, operations directorate.

 

Subsequently the following day, the country’s secret police announced that Emefiele was in its custody for “some investigative reasons”.

 

 

In its reaction, the DSS, via its counsel, I. Awo, said the security agency was not in the habit of rejecting such requests, adding that it was inappropriate.
