Glamtush reports that a high court of the Federal Capital Territory on Thursday issued a one-week ultimatum to the Department of State Security Service (DSS) to either charge the detained suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria(CBN), Godwin Emefiele to Court or release him.
This online platform understands that Justice Hamza Muazu gave the order while delivering a ruling in a fundamental human rights suit instituted against the DSS and others by Emefiele.
Justice Muazu held that the DSS has the power to carry out its constitutional duties of making arrests, detaining, and ensuring the prevention of internal crime.
However, he maintained that such duties must be carried out within the ambit of the law.
