Emefiele’s re-arrest occurred on the premises of a Federal High Court in Lagos sitting in Ikoyi after Justice Nicholas Oweibo admitted the embattled and suspended apex bank chief to bail in the sum of the N20million Naira

The judge also ordered that Emefiele be remanded at the correctional center pending the fulfillment of the bail conditions.

However, when the prison officials moved to take Emefiele into custody pending the fulfillment of his bail conditions, the secret police challenged them and it led to a fight.

This prompted Emefiele’s lead counsel, Joseph Daudu, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), and other lawyers to raise an alarm about their client’s planned re-arrest by the secret police

Amid the clash, Emefiele’s lawyers reluctantly allowed the DSS take custody of their client to avoid a gun battle.
