A Federal High Court sitting in Maitama, Abuja, has ordered the Director-General of the Department of State Security (DSS) and the DSS to immediately grant the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) unrestricted access to his lawyers and family members as it is within his constitutional right.
The order was given by Justice Hamza Muazu on Friday, July 16, 2023, following an application by J.B. Daudu, SAN, counsel to Emefiele.
Daudu had informed the court that he had written letters to the DSS, particularly on June 14, for the purpose of taking further instruction from him, but the DSS has refused to respond to the application.
