A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana has called on the Nigerian government to ensure the court order granting bail to the suspended Central Bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele, is obeyed forthwith.
In his ruling on Tuesday, Justice Nicholas Oweibo, said the charges against Emefiele are bailable.
The court subsequently admitted him to bail in respect of the offence of illegal possession of firearms.
However, operatives of the secret police, Department of State Services (DSS), also known as State Security Service took custody of Emefiele and rearrested him after a physical fight with officials of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS).
In a statement issued on Tuesday night, Falana condemned the action of the DSS and called for the arrest and sanction of the officers who brazenly defied the order of the court.
He said, "Notwithstanding the avowed commitment of the Bola Tinubu administration to operate under the rule of law, a team of State Security Service officials brazenly disobeyed the orders of the Federal High Court this morning at the Federal High Court, Ikoyi.
"For daring to comply with the orders of the Federal High Court, officials of the Correctional Centre were attacked by gun-totting officers of the SSS."
He said a "team of State Security Service officials brazenly disobeyed the orders of the Federal High Court, which admitted Mr. Godwin Emefiele to bail in respect of the offence of illegal possession of firearms".
"In view of the stern warning of President Tinubu that inter-agency physical attacks would not be permitted under his administration, the security officers who attacked officials of the Ikoyi Correctional Centre ought to be fished out and sanctioned.
"The federal government should also ensure that the orders of the Federal High Court are obeyed forthwith.
"However, all public officers should draw the necessary lessons from the current travails of Mr. Emefiele. As Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, he recklessly displayed arrogance and impunity by disobeying the orders of several courts, including the Supreme Court of Nigeria!" Falana added.
