Suit On Naira Crisis Must End Today– Supreme Court


Post created on 11:37 am

 

 

The crisis going over the new naira redesign and swap policy for weeks now will be decided by the Supreme Court today.

The seven-member panel led by Justice Inyang Okoro said new parties wishing to join the suit would no longer be allowed.

He said new parties would abide by the outcome of the existing suits or file a new one after the determination of the present suit, but that the matter must be determined today.

“You may file a fresh suit after this suit,” Justice Amina Augie said.

This was in response to an application filed by the Attorney General of Abia State seeking to join as a separate suit which is similar to the one brought by the Rivers State Government through its counsel Emmanuel Ukala, SAN.

The panel, therefore, was consolidated by the Rivers State Government alongside other suits.

11 states consolidated as co-plaintiffs, alongside Kaduna, Kogi and Zamfara, the panel then began to hear the existing matter after the announcement.

While Bayelsa and Edo states remain co-defendant states on the side of the federal government.
