Court Rejects Exparte Motion to Reinstate Suspended CBN Governor, Sanusi
An Abuja High Court on Wednesday rejected an ex-parte motion brought
by the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Lamido
Sanusi. Mr. Sanusi asked the court to set aside his suspension from
office.
Mr. Sanusi was suspended by President Goodluck Jonathan last Thursday over alleged financial recklessness and official misconduct.
He filed the suit on Monday to challenge his suspension. He had not only asked for reinstatement, but also an order of interlocutory injunction restraining the president, the Attorney General of the Federation and the Inspector General of Police from stopping him from performing his duties as CBN Governor.
