BREAKING: Court orders DSS to release Ifeanyi Ubah within 48 hours

A Federal High Court in Lagos, on Thursday issued a 48-hour ultimatum to the Department of State Service, DSS, to release detained Managing Director of Capital Oil and Gas, Ifeanyi Ubah.

DSS had recently Ubah over an alleged fraudulent oil deal with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC.

In a 100 page judgement, the trial judge, Justice Mohammed ordered the DSS to release Ubah, if it fails to file a charge against the oil magnate.

Justice Mohammed also lashed out at the secret police over its claim that that Ubah was arrested in Abuja while he was arrested in Lagos and flown to Abuja where he is currently in detention.
