Aloy Ejimakor, the special counsel to the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has weighed in on the uproar that occurred over the custody of the suspended governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele.
OsunDailyNG recalls that the Department of State Service (DSS) and the Nigerian Correctional Service (NcoS) were involved in a brawl on the court premises over Emefiele’s custody.
A federal high court in Ikoyi, Lagos, granted Emefiele N20 million bail and one surety in like sum.
The presiding judge, Nicholas Oweibo had ruled that the embattled apex bank chief be remanded at the correctional centre, pending the fulfillment of his bail conditions.
However, the DSS had refused to hand over Emefiele and whisked him away in their vehicle.
Reacting to the development, Ejimakor urged President Bola Tinubu to stop the secret service from disobeying court orders.
He noted that the serial disobedience of court orders by DSS was condemnable.
Tweeting, Ejimakor recalled how it failed to obey court orders granting Kanu freedom.
He wrote: “This era of disobedience of court Orders by DSS is a reminder of the most famous one it disobeyed: The 2022 Order of the Federal High Court (Umuahia), declaring that the detention of MAZI NNAMDI KANU is unlawful. It lies with TINUBU (@officialABAT) to stop this serial illegality.”
