VIDEO: Moment DSS operatives descend on prison officials at court premises over custody of Emefiele
Operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) and Nigeria Correctional Centre (NCC) on Tuesday had a serious face-off over custody of Godwin Emefiele, suspended governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
Earlier on Tuesday, a federal high court in Ikoyi, Lagos, granted Emefiele N20 million bail and one surety in like sum.
Emefiele is facing charges bordering on “illegal possession of firearms”.
Nicholas Oweibo, the presiding judge, ruled that the embattled apex bank chief be remanded at the correctional centre, pending the fulfillment of his bail conditions.
However, DSS operatives insisted on taking Emefiele into their custody.
Heated arguments and an all-out brawl between personnel of both services ensued on the premises of the court.
