[OPINION BY PETER AFUNANYA] DSS and accusations of disobedience of court orders: Setting the records right | TheCable

Recently, the media was awash with various commentaries about DSS’s disobedience of court orders. These accusations, as wrong as they are, have peaked in the Godwin Emefiele saga. It may interest the public and indeed the avowed critics of the service to note the following incidents and timelines to show that it has religiously obeyed court orders in respect of the case and even others.

As normal with criminal investigations, security agencies re-arrest suspects when there is adequate suspicion of the commission of a crime or as may be revealed by an ongoing investigation. Emefiele was re-arrested on the basis of this. Even though the re-arrest was tainted by the overzealousness of personnel of the service and NCoS, it was nonetheless legally procedural.

For either lack of knowledge or deliberate act to ignore the truth, there has been sustained bashing of the service and its leadership in the media and public spaces. It is ironic that the same people who condemn media trials are daily taking the service through the same. The actual points are, however, not lost on the service. It is aware of the depth of the orchestrations and even deeper plot to incite the judiciary against it.
