A High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Garki has barred 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 the alleged trumped-up allegations of terrorism and sundry offences against him.

Meanwhile, the court has 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, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the Central Bank of Nigeria, who are listed as 1st, 2nd and 5th defendants.

Justice M.A Hassan made the order while delivering judgment in a suit filed by the Incorporated Trustees of Forum for Accountability and Good Leadership.
