Officials of the Department of State Services (DSS) and prison officials from the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS) fought on the premises of the Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos, over who would take custody of Godwin Emefiele, a former CBN Governor.
FIJ can confirm that DSS operatives dragged an official of the NCS out of the court on Tuesday and began hitting him as officials of both government agencies engaged in a brief melee.
Earlier, the court granted Emefiele ₦20 million bail and ordered that he be released upon fulfilling the bail conditions. The DSS, however, insisted on detaining him.
