Justice Hamza Muazu of the FCT high court made the order on Friday even as he emphasised that access is a constitutional right of Emefiele.
The enrolled order dated June 16, 2023, reads: “The lawyers of the applicant shall have access to the applicant immediately.
And regularly at a reasonable time, pending the determination of the application.”The court order followed an application filed by Emefiele’s counsel, J.B. Saudi SAN, who told the court that the DSS had failed to respond to previous letters requesting access to his client.
