Afunanya said in a statement late Thursday:

“Though he (Emefiele) obtained a restraining order from an FCT High Court, the Service, however, arrested him in June, 2023, on the strength of suspected fresh criminal infractions/information, one of which forms the basis for his current prosecution.”

The secret police assured the public of professionalism, fairness, and fairness in the handling of the Emefiele’s case.

On Thursday, Earlier on Thursday, Justice Hamza Muazu of the Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja issued the one-week ultimatum based on the Fundamental Human Rights case that Emefiele brought against the DSS and others.

The suspended CBN Governor cannot continue in detention without formal charges being brought against him, Judge Muazu said, adding that the secret police cannot use Emefiele’s time in detention to obtain evidence against him.

Emefiele had filed a lawsuit against the Attorney General of the Federation and DSS, seeking enforcement, demanding the implementation of the fundamental human rights to freedom of movement and the dignity of human life.

In the lawsuit, the arrested CBN governor asked to retract and rescind his arrest and detention since June 10 without a valid court order.

He also sought N5m in damages to set an example for his alleged illegal detention.

On Friday, 9 June 2023, President Bola Tinubu suspended Emefiele as the governor of the apex bank and ordered the Deputy Governor of Operations, Folashodun Shonubi to occupy in his post as in an acting capacity.

The next day, the DSS confirmed that Emefiele was in their custody. Since then, the arrested apex bank chief and has remained in the custody of the secret police
