“I Will Not Take This Anymore, ” Emefiele Fights Back, Files Fresh Suit Against Tinubu, FG
The High Court in Maitama, Abuja, has slated January 8, 2024, as the decisive day for pronouncing judgment in the fundamental rights enforcement suit initiated by Mr. Godwin Emefiele, former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), against the Federal Government.
The announcement of this date came from the bench of Justice Olukayode Adeniyi on Monday, following extensive arguments presented by legal representatives from both sides involved in the case.
Justice Adeniyi, presiding over the proceedings, deemed it necessary to set a definitive timeline for the resolution of this high- profile suit.
Alongside fixing the judgment date, he also earmarked January 8, 2024, for ruling on the preliminary objections filed by all four respondents in the case, which bears the mark FCT/HC/CV/040/2023.
As anticipation builds for the court’ s decision, this development underscores the significance of the legal proceedings and emphasizes the commitment to a transparent and timely resolution of the issues raised in Mr. Emefiele’ s fundamental rights enforcement suit against the Federal Government.
Alleging a violation of his fundamental rights to life, personal liberty, a fair trial, and freedom of movement, Emefiele had filed a lawsuit against the federal government, the Attorney- General of the Federation (AGF), the Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), and the commission itself.
