Operatives of the Department of State Security have arrested the head of the Correctional Services Ikoyi at the premises of the Federal High Court Lagos on Tuesday.
Tension had started after Justice Nicholas had granted Emefiele a N20m bail.
While officials of the correctional services said Emefiele should be in their custody pending the conclusion of bail terms, officials of the DSS said he would be under their control.
Emefiele’s lawyers however said they would allow the DSS officials to disobey court order in order to avoid a gun battle.
