On Wednesday, the Supreme Court reaffirmed that the new naira suit must be heard, come what may.
During the proceedings on Wednesday, the attorney for Lagos State, Moyosore Onigbanjo, asked the court to order the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, to stop representing the respondents while violating the court’s first orders since he was asking for reliefs.
He stated that the “issue of contempt, supersedes issue of jurisdiction”.
Responding, Justice John Okoro, said, “you are not a stranger to this country.
We don’t want a situation where the judiciary will be a scapegoat. We refuse to be the scapegoat”.
“We are hearing this matter today. We don’t intend to keep this matter longer… whether they obey it or not”.
The court granted a brief recess after a series of declarations indicating late receipt of court notices.
