Justice Hamza Mu’azu of the Federal Capital Territory High Court has ordered the Department of State Service to either charge the detained suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, to court or release him.
Justice Muazu gave the order on Thursday, adding that the DSS has one week to carry out the order.
He gave the order while delivering a ruling in a fundamental human rights suit instituted against the DSS and others by Emefiele.
Justice Muazu said the DSS has the power to carry out its constitutional duties of making arrests, detaining, and ensuring the prevention of internal crime.
The judge said such duties must be carried out within the ambit of the law.
