Condemnation has trailed the conduct of the Department of State Services at the Federal High Court in Lagos on Tuesday during the court appearance of the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele.
Recall that the DSS took Emefiele before the court for arraignment on Tuesday but rearrested and whisked him away despite that the court granted him bail and ordered that he should be remanded at the Ikoyi facility of the Nigerian Correctional Services.
The situation, however, led to a clash between the Department of State Services operatives and prison officials.
Condemning the development, human rights lawyer, Ebun Olu-Adegoruwa (SAN), said the event is giving a bad image to president Tinubu’s administration.
Similarly, Prof Sam Erugo (SAN), said the refusal of the DSS to allow the correctional services to take Emefiele into their custody marked another embarrassing day for the Nigerian government.
Meanwhile, the immediate brother to the deceased, George Emefiele described the development as unfortunate in a democratic dispensation.
