Drama as DSS, NCS tussle over Emefiele’s custody
A mild drama played out at the Federal High Court, Lagos between operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) and officials of Nigeria Correctional Service (NCS) as they tussled over who keeps custody of the suspended Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, Godwin Emefiele.
Emefiele was arraigned by the Federal Ministry of Justice for illegal possession of firearms and ammunition but was granted bail in the sum of N20m with one surety, following his “not guilty” plea.
As the defendant’s lawyers were trying to perfect his bail conditions, a mild drama played out within the court premises between DSS operatives who are fully hooded and NCS over who will take custody of the embattled CBN boss.
