The Nigerian Bar Association has condemned the fight between operatives of the Department of State Services and the personnel of the Nigerian Correctional Service over the custody of the suspended Central Bank of Nigeria governor, Godwin Emefiele.
The NBA, in a statement on Wednesday by its President, Yakubu Maikyau demanded that the two agencies take disciplinary measures against their personnel for their “disgraceful conduct.”
After detaining him for over a month, the DSS, on Tuesday, took Emefiele before the Federal High Court in Lagos where he was arraigned on illegal firearms charges.
Justice Nicholas Oweibo granted Emefiele N20m bail and ordered that he should be remanded in the Ikoyi facility of the Nigeria Correctional Service pending the perfection of his bail conditions.
