A Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court sitting at Maitama, Abuja on Friday ordered Nigerian secret police, the Department of State Services (DSS) to grant the suspended Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele immediate access to his lawyers and relatives.
This was contained in a ruling delivered by Justice Hamza Muazu on the application filed by J.B. Daudu, SAN, counsel to Emefiele, ruling that the security operatives should grant Emefiele unrestricted access to his lawyers and relatives.
The suspended CBN governor also informed the court that he had written letters to the DSS, particularly on June 14, for the purpose of taking further instruction from him, but the DSS has refused to respond to the application, Channels TV reports.
On the other hand, counsel to the second and third respondents, I. Awo, told the court that the DSS did not have the penchant for refusing such a request and that it was wrong to do so.
However, he expressed certainty that the security service would abide by the order of court and grant access to the listed lawyers and family members of Emefiele to see him, while counsel to the Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation did not oppose the application.
SaharaReporters had reported that Emefiele’s arrest came same day the President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, suspended him from office with immediate effect.
