The Department of State Services (DSS) on Thursday, July 13, confirmed that the erstwhile governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, Mr Godwin Emefiele has been charged to court.
The arraignment, according to the DSS spokesman, Dr Peter Afunanya, was in compliance with an order by an Abuja High Court.
“The public may recall that the Service had, in 2022, applied for a court order to detain him (Emefiele) in respect of a criminal investigation.
“Though he 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,” Afunanya said in the statement.
The DSS assured the public of professionalism, justice and fairness in handling the matter and in the discharge of its duties within the confines of the law.
