A High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Garki has restrained the Department of State Services and the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba, from arresting and detaining the Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, over alleged trumped – up allegations of terrorism and sundry offences against him.

The court also ordered an accelerated hearing in the matter and abridged the time of both the respondents and the applicant.

 

Also restrained by the court order are the Attorney General of the Federation AGF, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC and the Central Bank of Nigeria, who are listed as 1st, 2nd and 5th defendants.

 

Justice MA Hassan made the order while delivering judgment in a suit marked GAR/CV/41/2022, filed by the Incorporated Trustees of Forum for Accountability and Good Leadership.

 

In the suit, tendered on 19 December, the applicant among other reliefs prayed to the Court for the following:

A declaration that the continuous harassment, intimidation, threats, restriction of free movement, abuse of the right of Office, surreptitious moves to arrest, and humiliation of Mr Godwin Emefiele, the Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria over trumped-up allegations of terrorism financing and fraudulent practices, etc by the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Respondents and their officers are vindictive, unwarranted, abrasive, oppressive and same constitute a flagrant breach of his rights to personal liberty, the dignity of the human rights; right to policy-making powers freedom of thought, conscience and religion and movement as respectively provided and enshrined under the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as Amended) and the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights (Ratification and Enforcement) Act AND, therefore, unconstitutional and illegal.

 

Upon hearing of counsels Justice M.A Hassan ruled that “it is further ordered that the 4th Respondent, their agents, servants, privies and all officers under their control and command are hereby restrained from instigating the arrest or arresting, interrogating and detaining the Central Bank Governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele, in respect of any matter or policy decision on the economy of the Federal Republic of Nigeria or for any connected purposes except by an order of a Superior Court.”

 

The court also granted an order of substituted service on the 5th defendant/respondent the CBN by delivering the originating summons and other processes to the legal department of the bank, at its Headquarters in Abuja.

 

The Daily Crucible recalls  that the DSS had in an exparte application with reference no: FHC/ABJ/CS/2255/2022, sought an order to arrest the CBN Governor over alleged acts of financing terrorism, fraudulent activities and economic crimes of national security dimension.”

 

Earlier, an FCT High Court in Abuja had stopped the Department of State Services from arresting the CBN Governor over allegations bordering on financing “acts of financing terrorism, fraudulent activities and economic crimes of national security dimension.”

 

The DSS had reportedly filed a suit on December 7, 2022, seeking to arrest the CBN governor. The Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice J.T Tsoho, gave the ruling declining to grant the application for the governor’s arrest on December 9, 2022.

 

The suit, FHC/Abj/CS/2255/2022, had State Security Services as the applicant.

 

The Judge, refusing to grant the application had stated, “In the light of the foregoing reasons, I decline to grant this application ex parte. If the applicant believes that the evidence available to it so far is sufficient, then it can as well arrest and detain the applicant, even without the order of the court. If however, the applicant desires to still pursue this application, then it should place the respondent on notice considering the sensitive public office that he occupies.”

 

Justice Hassan held that Exhibit A, submitted by the 4th respondent (DSS), which was the Affidavit also submitted to the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice JohnTsoho, did not substantiate any material fact of terrorism and that the 4th respondent’s acts are obvious attempts to interfere with the rights of Godwin Emefiele.

 

The EFCC in its counter affidavit stated that Emefiele is not under investigation by the Commission and it has no case against him. The anti-graft agency asked the court to discharge it from the matter on the ground.
