Justice
Tsoho said the secret police did not provide any concrete evidence to
substantiate its claims that Emefiele was involved in terrorism
financing and economic crimes.
 An application by the Department of State Services (DSS) to arrest
and detain Godwin Emefiele, governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria
(CBN) has been dismissed by Justice J.T Tsoho of a federal high court
sitting in Abuja.
TheCable reported that in declining the motion ex parte filed by an
applicant in the absence of the respondent, Justice Tsoho said the
secret police did not provide any concrete evidence to substantiate its
claims that Emefiele was involved in terrorism financing and economic
crimes.
Sources at the high court that the judge said he should have been
taken into confidence if there was any evidence to back the allegations
in the application, marked FHC/ABJ/CS/2255/2022. The court said such an
application should have been accompanied by presidential approval
because of the grave implications for the Nigerian economy if the CBN
governor is arrested and detained.
The Cable added that there are suggestions that the bid to arrest
Emefiele might be political given the impact the redesign of the naira
and limit on cash withdrawals might have on vote-buying in the 2023
elections.
A number of politicians have complained that the naira redesign is
targeted at them but President Muhammadu Buhari has given his full
backing to Emefiele over the policy.
Meanwhile, DSS has warned Nigerians against being used to
“undermine” its investigations. In a statement issued on Monday night
December 19, Peter Afunanya, DSS spokesperson, said the service will not
be distracted by those seeking to use “propaganda” to undermine its
lawful investigations.
Afunanya said one of the duties of the DSS is the
“investigation of matters of national security dimension. It has always
discharged this responsibility in the overall interest of Nigerian
citizens”.
“As such, the Service will continue to disseminate actionable
intelligence to the relevant authorities devoid of any sentiment. While
professionally discharging its mandate, the DSS pledges to remain
focused and unbiased. It will not, by any means, succumb to propaganda,
intimidation and the desperation of hirelings to undermine it.
It will also not give room to the use of falsehood and deceit
to misdirect public understanding and perceptions of issues of national
importance.
'Given not to join issues, the Service warns those on a wild
goose chase to be mindful of their actions. Similarly, it urges members
of the public to disregard the vituperations and rantings of misguided
elements and not allow themselves to be used as instruments of
destabilisation.
Notably, these elements should remember the famous axiom that
‘you will only deceive some people, some of the time, but not all
people, all the time’. To put it succinctly, the Service will not be
distracted by persons and/or groups from carrying out its duties to the
Nation, citizens, and, President and Commander-in-Chief.”
Afunanya asked Nigerians to “avoid being used to thwart or
undermine the Service and its lawful investigations as those who wish to
act in the breach will be dealt with in accordance with the law”.
