…Assures Nigerians of professionalism, justice, fairness

The Department of State Services (DSS), has finally charged the detained Central bank of Nigeria (CBN) governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele, to court.

Dr. Peter Afunaya, the DSS Spokesperson in a statement, on Thursday evening said that the action was in compliance with the court Order of Thursday, 13th July, 2023.

He said, “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,” Afunaya said.
