The Department of State Services (DSS) says it will probe the fracas involving its officials and personnel of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS) at the Federal High Court in Lagos.

Barely 24 hours after the supremacy battle over custody of suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Godwin Emefiele, the secret police condemned the incident, describing it as unfortunate.

DSS spokesman, Peter Afunanya, said in a statement that the incident does not in any way reflect the professional disposition of the service. 

He added that the Service has tremendous respect for the Judiciary as an Arm and Institution of Government and will not go out of its way to undermine it.
