At the Federal High Court in Lagos State, Department of State Services agents detained a senior official from Ikoyi Prisons.
The custody dispute involving Godwin Emefiele, the suspended governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, may not be unrelated to the arrest.
The secret service agents then freed the Ikoyi jail officer who had been roughed up and forced into the DSS car.
A minor drama involving DSS agents and Nigeria Correctional Service employees over custody of Emefiele was previously alleged to have taken place in the Federal High Court in Lagos State.
Emefiele was charged by the Federal Ministry of Justice with illegally possessing firearms and ammunition, but after pleading “not guilty,” he was released on bail in the amount of N20 million with one surety.
A minor drama broke out inside the courthouse between completely hooded DSS agents and NCS agents about who would be in charge of taking custody of the troubled CBN head while the defendant’s attorneys worked to fix his bail conditions.
