The high court of the Federal Capital Territory sitting in Abuja has ordered the Department of State Service to allow counsel to the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, access to him.
The presiding judge, Justice Hamza Muazu, granted the interim order in an ex-parte motion brought before the tribunal by Godwin Emefiele as an applicant.
The order of the court is based on the fundamental rights of the applicant, who is presently in the custody of the DSS.
The matter has been adjourned to June 20, 2023, for the commencement of the substantive suit.
