On the grounds of the Federal High Court in Lagos State, Department of State Services agents detained a senior official of Ikoyi Prisons.
The custody dispute involving suspended Central Bank of Nigeria Governor Godwin Emefiele and the arrest may have some bearing on the situation.
The secret service agents later freed the Ikoyi jail official who had been violently handled and forced into the DSS car.
It was previously reported that a minor drama occurred before the Federal High Court in Lagos State as DSS agents and Nigeria Correctional Service agents sparred over who gets to keep custody of Emefiele.
Despite being charged by the Federal Ministry of Justice with illegal possession of weapons and ammunition, Emefiele was released on bail after entering a “not guilty” plea and receiving a bail bond of N20 million with one surety.
A little conflict between completely hooded DSS agents and NCS agents over who will take custody of the troubled CBN chief broke out on the court grounds as the defendant’s attorneys were attempting to perfect his bail conditions.
