The Prison authorities had summoned extra men moments before the clash to take Emefiele into jail as directed by the court.
Lawyers and journalists covering the case scurried to safety to avoid being thrashed by DSS officers, who have now strategically placed their men in the court premises to prevent Emefiele from being taken out.
During the argument, a prison official’s uniform was ripped, displaying the singlet underneath.
The DSS operatives outnumbered the prison officials, who were heavily armed.
