Sequel to an Abuja High Court Order of Thursday, July 13, 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 made available to journalists in Abuja, the Service Public Relations Officer, Dr. Peter Afunaya, recalles that the Service had, in 2022, applied for a Court Order to detain him in respect of a criminal investigation.
The statement also notes 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 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.
