A mild drama is playing out at the Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos between operatives of the Department of State Services, DSS, and officials of the Nigeria Correctional Service, NCS, over custody of the suspended Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Godwin Emefiele.
Emefiele was arraigned today by the DSS for illegal possession of firearms and ammunition but was granted bail in the sum of N20 million with one surety.
While Emefiele’s lawyers are still in court trying to perfect his bail conditions, a mild drama is playing out within the court premises between DSS and NCS over who will take custody of the defendant.
Two Hilux vehicles belonging to two government agencies are currently positioned near the entrance of the court.
Although Emefiele was granted bail by the court, the DSS is trying to rearrest him.
