ANOTHER COURT ORDERS DSS TO DETAIN IFEANY UBA FOR 14 DAYS

Minutes after a Federal High Court in Lagos ordered the immediate release of detained Managing Director of Capital Oil and Gas, Ifeanyi Ubah within 48hrs, another court in the Federal Capital Territory has given the Department of State Service, DSS, the nod to hold him for another 14 days.

Justice Yusuf Halilu of the FCT Federal High Court on Thursday extended the detention order of the Chief Executive Officer of Capital Oil and Gas Ltd following an ex-parte application the DSS filed through its lawyer, Mr. G.O.A. Agbadua.

The agency said it filed the application considering that an earlier order the court granted it on May 10, elapsed on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Ubah’s lawyer, Mrs. Ifeoma Esom has filed a fresh application, asking the court to compel the DSS to release her client on administrative bail.
