A Federal Capital Territory High Court sitting in Abuja has ordered the immediate release of former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, from the custody of the Department of State Security, DSS.

Muazu further said the way the DSS went about the arrest as if Emefiele was a criminal seems politically motivated.
