Nigeria’s DSS secret police have re-arrested the country’s suspended bank chief, after tussling with prison officials outside a court in Lagos over who should take him into custody.

The court had ruled that Godwin Emefiele should remain in prison custody at the Ikoyi Correctional Centre in Lagos until his bail, set at 20 million naira ($26,000, £20,000), was settled.

Nigeria’s Premium Times newspaper posted a video on Twitter of the chaotic scenes outside court as officers from the two agencies became physical.
