DSS Arrests Ikoyi Prison Boss On Court Premises Over Emefiele Custody [Video]

Ikoyi Prison Boss has been arrested by the DSS on the court premises over Emefiele custody.

Truetells reports that operatives of the Department of State Services have arrested a top official of Ikoyi Prisons on the premises of the Federal High Court in Lagos State, Nigeria’s commercial city.

This online news platform understands that the Ikoyi Prison Boss arrest may not be unconnected with the tussle for who keeps custody of the suspended Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, Godwin Emefiele.

The Ikoyi prison official who was rough-handled and shuffled into the DSS vehicle was later released by the secret service operatives.

Truetells Nigeria recalls that a mild drama played out at the Federal High Court, Lagos State, between DSS operatives and officials of Nigeria Correctional Service as they tussled over who keeps custody of Emefiele.

Emefiele was arraigned by the Federal Ministry of Justice for illegal possession of firearms and ammunition but was granted bail in the sum of N20m with one surety, following his “not guilty” plea.

As the defendant’s lawyers were trying to perfect his bail conditions, a mild drama played out within the court premises between DSS operatives who are fully hooded and NCS over who will take custody of the embattled CBN boss.
