The Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice John Tsoho, has declined an application by the Department of State Services to arrest and detain the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Mr. Godwin Emefiele.
Justice Tsoho, while declining the motion ex-parte filed by an applicant in the absence of the respondent, says the secret police did not provide any concrete evidence to substantiate its claims that Emefiele was involved in terrorism financing and economic crimes.
The Judge noted that the name of the respondent was given simply as ‘Godwin Emefiele’ without a material disclosure that he is the same person as the CBN Governor.
