Arewa Youth Knocks DSS Over Refusal To Arraign Emefiele 

A Socio-cultural group, Arewa Youths Consultative Forum, has raised alarm over the refusal of the Department of State Services (DSS) to arraign suspended Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, days after filing pump action possession charge against him. THE GUARDIAN reports.

The High Court of the Federal Capital Territory had last week, ordered the (DSS) to immediately release Emefiele from detention.Information Guide Nigeria

The presiding Judge, Justice Hamza Muazu, gave the order after hearing the arguments of all parties in the matter.

The same day, the secret police charged Emefiele in court on trumped-up charges of registered weapon possession.

Reacting, Arewa Youths in a statement signed by its convener, Kabiru Yusuf, wondered why the DSS is still delaying the arraignment of the embattled suspended CBN Governor.

Yusuf lamented that the secret police is delaying as a ploy to keep him in custody rather than obey court orders.

They insisted that the DSS has nothing against Emefiele, hence why they are not forthcoming with the arraignment, adding that Emefiele’s only crime was initiating several good policies that have been beneficial to Nigerians.NYSC Portal

The group tasked the DSS to either obey and respect the rule of law by releasing Emefiele or arraign him immediately to let Nigerians know what crime he committed, other than their baseless trumped charges.
