The Department of State Services (DSS) brought suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr. Godwin Emefiele to court on Tuesday.
DSS operatives arrived at the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos, around 9:18 am with Emefiele in tow.
Emefiele was arraigned before Justice Nicholas Oweibo over alleged possession of firearms.
He pleaded not guilty.
On 10th June, DSS operatives stormed Emefiele’s Ikoyi residence in Lagos, a day after he was suspended as the governor of the CBN by President Bola Tinubu.
He was arrested and had since then remained in custody, with the DSS maintaining that his detention was based on the order of an Abuja Chief Magistrate Court.
