Court has invalidated the arrest and detention of Godwin Emefiele.

 

Newsonline Nigeria reports that the High Court sitting in Abuja on Friday invalidated the arrest and detention of the suspended governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele.

 

This Nigeria News platform understands that the presiding judge, Bello Kawu, granted the order following an application by Emefiele.

 

Newsonline Nigeria recalls that on June 9, President Bola Tinubu suspended Emefiele as CBN Governor and directed him to transfer his responsibilities to Deputy Governor, Operations Directorate, Folashodun Adebisi Shonubi.

 

The Department of State Services (DSS) confirmed the next day that Emefiele was in its custody for “some investigative reasons.”

 

Emefiele has remained in DSS custody since then, with the agency insisting that it obtained a valid court order to keep him.

 

Newsonline Nigeria reports that on Thursday, the DSS disclosed that it had charged Emefiele to court, following a ruling from the FCT High Court.
