A Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court has ordered the Department of State Services (DSS) to charge Godwin Emefiele, suspended governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), to court or release him.

According to POLITICS NIGERIA, the judge gave the DSS one week to either charge Emefiele to court if they have criminal allegations against him or release him on bail.

The order was made by Justice Hamza Muazu after an application by Joseph Daudu, counsel to Emefiele.

Emefiele has been in detention since his arrest on June 9, after President Bola Tinubu suspended him and ordered a probe of the apex bank.

The president asked him to transfer his responsibilities to Folashodun Adebisi Shonubi, deputy governor, operations directorate.
