Court Orders DSS to allow Emefiele have Access to Lawyers and Family

  1. Justice Hamza Muazu of the Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja has issued an order to the Department of State Service (DSS), instructing them to permit the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, to communicate with his legal counsel and family members.

The interim order was granted by the judge following an ex-parte motion presented to the court by Godwin Emefiele himself.

The court’s decision is based on the recognition of the applicant’s fundamental rights while in the custody of the DSS.

The case has been adjourned until June 20, 2023, when the substantive suit will commence.

Meanwhile, Kanyi Daily reported earlier that President Tinubu suspended Godwin Emefiele on June 9, after which he was taken into custody by the DSS on June 10.
