DSS Obeys Court Order, Arraigns Emefiele

Sequel to an Abuja High Court Order of today, 13th July, 2023, the Department of State Services (DSS) has confirmed that Mr Godwin Emefiele has been charged to court in compliance with the Order.

In a statement, the Force Public Relations Officer, Peter Afunaya, recalled that the Service had, in 2022, applied for a Court Order to detain him in respect of a criminal investigation.

The statement noted that 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, therefore, assured the general public of professionalism, justice and fairness in handling this matter and indeed the discharge of its duties within the confines of the law.
