The Department of State Services (DSS) on Tuesday said an overzealous and uninformed IPOB/ESN lawyer, Maxwell Okpara and other like-minded lawyers are the one defending suspended CBN’s governor, Godwin Emefiele in court against its Director General.

Sixty legal practitioners had on Monday, approached a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory to begin committal proceedings against the Department of State Services (DSS).

The lawyers said the suit was hinged on what they described as violation of multiple judgments and orders of court directing the agency to release former Central Bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele.

But the DSS, in series of tweets on Tuesday aid the efforts of Okpara and others would be futile, describing him as a charge and bail lawyer.
The DSS called on Nigerians to beware as the purported suit was in bad faith.
The Services described Okpara as a Biafran Republic agitator and outlawed IPOB counsel who is defending Emefiele.
The DSS 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.

“A Biafran Republic agitator and Outlawed IPOB counsel defending the suspended CBN Governor. Is IPOB defending one of theirs???? What a contradiction…..hmmm…what’s the connection? Is someone telling us something? May Maxwell be properly educated on points of law, please.”
