A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, on Friday applauded the Court of Appeal for setting aside the order that restrained the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) from releasing funds to the Rivers State government.
A three-member panel of the appellate court led by Justice Hamman Barka had earlier on Friday set aside the October 30 order by Justice Joyce Abdulmalik of the Federal High Court, Abuja, that stopped the CBN and the Accountant-General of the Federation from releasing funds for Governor Siminilayi Fubara’s administration in the state.
The panel its ruling held that the matter was not within the jurisdiction of the lower court to adjudicate.
