The Department of State Services (DSS) in Nigeria has put forth a suggestion that Godwin Emefiele, the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, may have ties to the separatist organization known as the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

Amidst the ongoing legal dispute surrounding his arrest and detention, the Department of State Services (DSS) made a statement on Tuesday suggesting a potential association between Emefiele and the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), as they share legal representation.
In a notable development, it has come to light that Maxwell Okpara, a lawyer associated with Emefiele, has been identified by the Department of State Services (DSS) as the legal counsel for Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). It is worth mentioning that Kanu is currently embroiled in legal proceedings pertaining to charges of treason and terrorism leveled against him by the Nigerian government.
