Drama in Court as DSS, Prison Officials Fight over Emefiele (Video)
There was an intense drama on Tuesday between operatives of the Department of State Services, DSS, and men of the Nigeria Correctional Service at the court premises over the custody of Godwin Emefiele, suspended CBN Governor.
By Henry Chigbo
The fight between the two agencies happened at the Federal High Court in Lagos after the Judge Nicholas Oweibo ordered that Emefiele be remanded until he fulfils his bail requirements.
It was gathered that DSS intended to still maintain custody of the ex-CBN governor while men of the NCoS were also on ground to move him to the correctional center following the order of the court.

However, after spending six weeks in the custody of the DSS, the secret police still wanted to hold him in her custody despite the court order.
