The Department of State Services (DSS) tackled person Maxwell Okpara, the counsel of the suspended Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Godwin Emefiele.
DSS in a series of tweets on Tuesday, accused Okpara of mobilising “other like-minded lawyers” against Yusuf Bichi, director-general of DSS, over Emefiele’s detention.
The service wrote: “Charge and bail, overzealous uninformed IPOB/ESN lawyer Maxwell Okpara mobilises other like minded lawyers against DGSS. Futile Efforts. Well, Nigerians, beware! This is in bad faith. Transferred aggression.
“Is IPOB defending one of theirs? What a contradiction. What’s the connection? Is someone telling us something? May Maxwell be properly educated on points of law, please.”
Okpara is one of the lawyers fighting to secure the release of the embattled CBN governor.
