DSS Operatives Overpower NCS, Rearrest Emefiele

Officials of Nigeria Correctional Service (NCS) who were in court to take into custody the suspended Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, Godwin Emefiele, who was arraigned by the Department of State Services (DSS) on Tuesday at the Federal High Court, Lagos, left the court without him.

Emefiele appeared before Justice Nicholas Oweibo of the Federal High Court in Lagos who granted him bail following his “not guilty” plea over the charge of illegal possession of a firearm.

However, the DSS did not allow the prison officials to take custody of Emefiele as ordered by the court.

A fight ensued between officials of the two federal agencies, with one prison official seriously beaten following DSS’s insistence to take Emefiele away.

However, the prison officials eventually left the court when a senior female DSS official arrived and had a brief discussion with them.
