Operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS), have re-arrested suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, after he was granted bail by Justice Nicholas Oweibo of the Federal High Court in Lagos in the sum of N20m and one surety in like sum.
DSS officials earlier had a tussle with officers of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS) over the custody of the suspended CBN governor.
The judge also ordered that Emefiele be remanded at the correctional center pending the fulfillment of the bail conditions.
However, when the prison officials moved to take Emefiele into custody pending the fulfillment of his bail conditions, the secret police challenged them and it led to a fight.
At exactly 03:03pm, DSS operatives led the suspended CBN governor out of the courtroom into their waiting vehicle.
