An unidentified highly-ranking NCS has been seriously beaten up and arrested by DSS officials who have mobilised more men to counter the attempt by prison authorities to take custody of Emefiele.

Just before the fight broke out, the Prison authorities had mobilized more men to take custody of Emefiele as ordered by the court.

Lawyers and journalists covering the matter scampered for safety to avoid being beaten by the DSS officials who have now positioned their men in strategic positions in the court premises to prevent Emefiele from being taken out of the court.
