Court mandates DSS to ‘immediately’ grant former CBN Gov, Emefiele, unrestricted access to lawyers, family
The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court sitting in Maitama, Abuja, on Friday issued an order to the Director General of the Department of State Services (DSS) and the DSS to immediately grant the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, unrestricted access to his lawyers and family members, saying it is within his constitutional right.
The presiding judge of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court, Maitama, Abuja, Justice Hamza Muazu, issued the order on Friday, after an application by counsel to Emefiele, J.B. Daudu SAN.
Emefiele’s counsel had reported to the court that he had written letters to the DSS, on June 14, for the purpose of taking further instruction from him, but the DSS has refused to respond to the application.
Counsel to the DSS, including the Office of the AGF, had requested extension of time to file their respective responses to the originating motion, which was granted and the suit was further adjourned till Tuesday, June 19 for hearing of the substantive suit.
