The Department of Security Services (DSS) has finally charged Mr. Godwin Emefiele, the suspended governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), to court.
Peter Afunanya, spokesperson for the DSS, in a statement on Thursday said the decision to charge Emefiele was in compliance with the order of the FCT high court.
Recall that an Abuja High Court sitting at Maitama, earlier on Thursday, ordered the DSS to within seven days, release Emefiele, from detention or charge him to court.
The court, in a judgement that was delivered by Justice Hamza Muazu, held that Emefiele’s continued detention without trial, amounted to a gross violation of his fundamental human rights.
Justice Muazu held that the Nigerian Constitution was founded on the rule of law which he said pre-supposed that everything must be done according to the law.
