A. Hassan in Suit No. FCT\/HC\/GAR\/CV\/41\/2022.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Emefiele through his Counsel, Mr. Peter Abang, had requested the court to set aside, quash, invalidate and nullify the arrest and detention of the Applicant for being illegal and a nullity in view of the subsisting judgment of Justice M. A. Hassan delivered on December 29, 2022.<\/p>\n<p>In another prayer granted by Hon. Justice Bello Kawu, the FCT Court ordered the setting aside, voiding, quashing, invalidating and nullifying any warrant of arrest obtained or procured by the Respondents, especially the DSS for the arrest, detention and\/or interrogation of Mr. Emefiele in connection with the allegations of terrorism financing, fraudulent practices, money laundering, round tripping, threat to national security before or from any court since the date of the judgment of Justice M. A. Hassan.<\/p>\n<p>Also, the High Court granted an injunction restraining the Respondents, especially the DSS from arresting, detaining, further detaining or proceeding against, breaching or interfering with Mr. Emefiele\u2019s personal liberty and freedom of movement or taking any other steps against him in connection with any allegations of terrorism financing, fraudulent practices, money laundering, round tripping, threat to national security before or from any court since the date of the judgment of Justice M. A. Hassan.<\/p>\n<p>The Court also granted an order of injunction directing and mandating the Respondents, particularly the DSS to forthwith release and unfetter Mr. Emefiele from any arrest, detention, custody, interrogation with regard to allegations of terrorism financing, fraudulent practices, money laundering, round-tripping, threat to national security before or from any court in view of the subsisting judgment of Justice M. A. Hassan.<\/p>\n<p>In his reaction to the latest judgment, Counsel to Mr Emefiele told journalists that beyond the release of his client, Nigerians must celebrate the fact that Nigerian judges despite several acts of intimidation by security agencies and some unfavourable conditions under which they work are bold to dispense justice not minding whose ox is gored.<\/p>\n<p>He told the DSS to immediately comply with the court\u2019s orders and release his client so that he can go and look after his failing health aggravated by over one month of illegal and unlawful arrest and
