Haliru Nababa, the Controller General (CG) of Nigeria\u2019s Correctional Service (NCoS), has refuted reports that Godwin Emefiele, the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, was forcibly removed from the agency\u2019s care.<\/p>\n

According to him, no such attempt was made by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) or the Department of State Services (DSS).<\/p>\n

He made the disclosure on Thursday while reacting to a petition filed by the Centre for Social Justice, Equity, and Transparency, when he appeared before the House of Representatives Committee on Public Petitions in Abuja.<\/p>\n

Mike Etaba, the Chairman of the Committee, however, dismissed the petition on the grounds that it was subjudice.<\/p>\n

According to him, \u201cthis matter is in court, we can\u2019t forge ahead with this matter because it is subjudice to us. This matter is hereby dismissed from this committee.\u201d<\/p>\n

Director, Legal and Prosecution Department of EFCC, Sylvanus Tahir, said it was inappropriate to entertain the petition as it bordered on a subsisting court matter.<\/p>\n

Nababa, who was represented by the Assistant Controller-General in Charge of Operations, Nwakeze Emmanuel, said such attempted abduction did not happen<\/p>\n

\u201cAs far as we are concerned, we are not aware of any alleged attempt to forcefully release Emefiele as he is still in our custody, bubbling,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

EFCC\u2019s legal representative, Tahir, had earlier said, \u201cThe petition which we perused borders on a pending court case.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a subsisting criminal charge against Emefiele on whose behalf the petitioners have petitioned.\u201d<\/p>\n
