The Department of State Services (DSS) says it has charged the suspended Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr. Godwin Emefiele, to court.
It said the development was sequel to an Abuja High Court order of Thursday 13th July, 2023 to that effect.
Spokesman of the Service, Dr Peter Afunanya, in a statement copy of which he se t to The DEFENDER Thursday night, confirmed that Mr Godwin Emefiele had been charged to court in compliance with the order.
“The public may recall that the Service had, in 2022, applied for a Court Order to detain him in respect of a criminal investigation. Though he 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.
“The Service assures the public of professionalism, justice and fairness in handling this matter and indeed the discharge of its duties within the confines of the law,” the statement said.
