Federal Capital Territory High Court siting in Apo has nullified the arrest and detention of suspended governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele.
Gatekeepers News reports that the presiding judge, Bello Kawu granted the order following an application by Emefiele.
On June 9, President Bola Tinubu suspended Emefiele and asked him to transfer his responsibilities to Folashodun Adebisi Shonubi, deputy governor, operations directorate.
The day after, the Department of State Services (DSS) announced that Emefiele was in its custody for “some investigative reasons”.
Emefiele has been in DSS custody since early June, with the service insisting that it obtained a valid court order to keep him.
