DSS Finally Obeys Court Order, File Charges Against Emefiele |READ DETAILS

ALL FACTS NEWSPAPER had reported that a Federal Capital Territory High Court, Abuja, on Thursday, ordered the DSS to either charge Emefiele to court within one week or release him.

Sequel to the order, the DSS in a statement by it's spokesman, Dr. Peter Afunanya, said Emefiele has been charged to court in adherence to the court order.

"Sequel to an Abuja High Court Order of today, July 13, 2023, the Department of State Services (DSS) hereby confirms that Mr. Godwin Emefiele has been charged to court in compliance with the order. The public may recall that the service had, in 2022, applied for a court order to detain him 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.

"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.ÔÇØ
