A Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court has ordered the Department of State Services (DSS) to charge Godwin Emiefele, suspended governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), to court within one week or release him on bail.
Justice Hamza Muazu gave the order in his ruling in a fundamental human rights suit filed by the bank chief, who was arrested on June 10, 2023.
President Bola Tinubu had suspended Emefiele and ordered a probe of the apex bank under his watch.
The secret police had reportedly trailed him to Lagos, where he was arrested and flown to Abuja.
