The Department of State Services (DSS) hereby confirms that Mr. Godwin Emefiele, former Central Bank of Nigeria Governor (CBN), has been charged to court in compliance with the Court Order.
The confirmation was in a statement signed by the Spokesperson of the Service, Peter Afunanya, 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 Emefiele 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.
