DSS re-arrest Emefiele after brandishing of guns & fight with prison officials in court

The Department of Security Service (DSS) have re-arrested the former Central Bank of Nigeria governor, Godwin Emefiele after a serious face-off with Nigeria Correctional Services operatives over who will take custody of the suspended former bank chief.

The re-arrest occurred after Justice Nicholas Oweibo granted Emefiele bail in the sum of N20 million and ordered him to be remanded at the correctional centre pending the fulfilment of the bail conditions.

The secret police immediately seized Emefiele after its operatives physically fought off operatives of the Nigerian Correctional Services (NCS) who attempted to take Emefiele away in accordance with the order of Justice Nicholas Oweibo.

Recall that Emefiele was arraigned by the Federal Government over illegal possession of firearms and ammunition but he pleaded not guilty to a two-count charge

Justice Oweibo granted Emefiele bail in the sum of N20million with one surety in like sum.

But he was not able to leave the courtroom because of the face-off between the two sister agencies.

At the time of filing this report, Emefiele has been whisked away by the secret police.
