In a recent development, a high court of the Federal Capital Territory has issued an ultimatum to the Department of State Security Service (DSS) regarding the detained suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele. The court ruling states that the DSS must either bring forth charges against Emefiele in court or release him within a week.
Justice Hamza Muazu, presiding over the case filed by Emefiele in a fundamental human rights suit against the DSS and others, delivered the ruling. While affirming the DSS’s authority to carry out its constitutional duties, which include arrests, detentions, and internal crime prevention, Justice Muazu emphasized that such actions must be conducted within the boundaries of the law.
