Operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) have re-arrested the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele in court.
Emefiele was granted N20 million bail by Justice Nicholas Oweibo of the Federal High Court in Lagos on Tuesday and ordered that he be remanded at the Ikoyi Correctional Service pending when he met the bail condition.
Emefiele had pleaded not guilty to the two counts of illegal possession of firearm and ammunition levelled against him by the Federal Government.
Immediately he was granted bail by the court, DSS officials and Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS) officials fought over who should take custody of the suspended CBN governor.
But he was not able to leave the courtroom because of the imbroglio between the sister agencies. The DSS and NCS almost come to blows over who should take custody of Emefiele.
DSS operatives roughed up a Prisons Squadron Commander. They pushed him out of the court and tore his shirt buttons.
But the DSS prevailed and whisked Emefiele away in contradiction to court’s ruling that he be taken to the correctional centre.
