July 25, 2023, was a day of drama, intrigues, and a free-for-all at the Federal High Court, Lagos.
Meanwhile, Dauda urged the court to end the oppression of his client by the Department of State Security.But the government’s lawyer told Justice Oweibo that she had “not been given the bail application. “As I stand here, I have not set eyes on it.”
The weird-looking DSS officials who held guns laid siege and didn’t allow anyone to get close to the courtroom as they held Emefiele hostage for several hours. As this was ongoing, litigants who were still in the court condemned the DSS’ actions saying that they presented Nigeria in a bad light for fighting shamefully in public over Emefiele’s custody.
He stated that they applied that pending when he would perfect the conditions of his bail, he should be moved from the custody of the DSS to the Nigeria Correctional Service. The Court in its discretion granted that he should be in a correctional centre until he completes the terms of his bail.
