Reprieve seems to have come the way of the suspended Central Bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele as a high court of the Federal Capital Territory on Thursday issued a one-week ultimatum to the Department of State Security Service to either chargehim to Court or release him.
Justice Hamza Muazu gave the order while delivering a ruling in a fundamental human rights suit instituted against the DSS and others by Emefiele.
Justice Muazu held that the DSS has the power to carry out its constitutional duties of making arrests, detaining, and ensuring the prevention of internal crime.
However, he maintained that such duties must be carried out within the ambit of the law.
