Godwin Emefiele
The Department of State Services (DSS) advice the Federal Capital Territory High Court against granting bail to the suspended Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, Godwin Emefiele, on Tuesday 20th June, 2023 on the confidence that he will flee the country if granted bail.
The Attorney General of the Federation also supported the argument of the DSS, describing Emefiele as a “flight risk.”.

The former head of the central bank is challenging his detention by the DSS and which include his denial of access to his family members and lawyers.
Emefiele was suspended by President Bola Tinubu and subsequently detained by the DSS on Saturday, June 10, 2023.

At the resumption of hearing on Tuesday, both DSS and Office Attorney General of the Federation (OAGF) made these clear in a separate counter-affidavits filed in a fundamental rights enforcement suit by the suspended CBN boss.

In its own affidavit, the OAGF wave off the rumours that Emefiele was being held for terrorist-related crimes. It also said he was not being hard-handed for his involvement in politics and the case of naira redesign policy.

The OAGF said: “Issues of terrorism financing and fraudulent activities are not part of the grounds for the arrest and detention of the applicant.
