A former Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Prince Adetokunbo Kayode, and five other Senior Advocates of Nigeria have warned the Department of State Services (DSS) against disrespecting court orders which prevented it from arresting the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr. Godwin Emefiele.
The CBN Governor is currently being fingered by the DSS over allegations of terrorism financing and economic crimes.
Writing under the aegis of Incorporated Trustees of Forum for Accountability and Good Leadership are the other SANs which include Oba Maduabuchi, Emeka Ozoani, M.M. Nurudeen, Abdul Mohammed and Dr. Emeka Obegolu.
In a letter dated 6th January, titled Emefiele: ‘Let The Rule of Law of Prevail’, the senior advocates said they had observed “moves by the DSS to still proceed and sidetrack and disobey the court decisions by unduly and unlawfully interfere with Emefiele’s fundamental rights.”
