Agbakoba faults keeping Emefiele in DSS custody

Dr Olisa Agbakoba (SAN) has said that the suspension of the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) from office is not a surprise as his tenure was way beyond monetary policy.

But the legal icon said that the confirmation by the Department of State Security (DSS) that Emefiele was in its custody came as a shock.

According to him, “The statutory role of DSS is internal security and I shudder to think what role DSS will play in this matter?”

“The rule of law says it all -can the relevant agency responsible for Governor Ememfiele step forward but this excludes the DSS, unless this has security implications”.
