A high court sitting at the FCT Abuja, has asked the Department of State Services (DSS) to release the suspended former CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele, or charge him to court within one week if they have criminal allegations against him.
The order was given by Justice Hamza Muazu who ordered that the former CBN governor should be taken to a competent court within one week.
On June 9, President Bola Tinubu suspended Emefiele and asked him to transfer his responsibilities to Folashodun Adebisi Shonubi, deputy governor, operations directorate.
The day after, the DSS announced that Emefiele was in its custody for “some investigative reasons”.
Meanwhile, Emefiele had filed a suit against the DSS and the attorney-general of the federation (AGF) through his lawyer, Joseph Daudu, seeking an enforcement of his fundamental human rights.
