The Department of State Services Thursday said the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele had been charged to court.
This is in an apparent reaction to an Abuja High Court which had earlier in the day ordered the DSS to either release Emefiele or charge him to court.
The DSS, in a statement by its spokesperson, Peter Afunanya, said the service had in 2022 applied for a court order to detain Emefiele but noted that he got another order stopping the DSS from arresting him.
Afunanya explained that the suspended CBN governor was arrested for “criminal infractions” for which he was being prosecuted for.
