Justice Nicholas Oweibo of the Federal High Court in Lagos had earlier granted Emefiele bail after he was arraigned for illegal firearms possession. Still, the DSS refused to allow the Prison officials to take custody of the former CBN governor as ordered by the court.

Moments after the fight, a senior female DSS official arrived and briefly discussed with prison officials, who later vacated the court.
