Moments DSS and NCS Officers Battle Over Custody of Godwin Emefiele [Video]
Violence erupted between the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Nigerian Correctional Services, at the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, over which of the agencies will have custody of Goodwin Emefiele the suspended governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
Recall that the court granted Emefiele bail, but ordered the Nigeria Correctional Service to keep the suspended CBN Governor in their custody pending the perfection of his bail.
However Sensing that the DSS, operatives planned to rearrest Emefiele, the Nigeria Correctional Service decided to weigh in, insisting that the court order expressly ordered them to have custody of Emefiele. Things got out of hand and the two agencies started exchanging blows.
Meanwhile, Emefiele’s lawyers are still seated in the court while the judge is trying to prevail on the DSS to allow the defendant perfect his bail terms instead of re-arresting him.
