Emefiele, CBN Retain Former Attorney-General Aondoakaa SAN to Lead Legal Team in Landmark Matter Against Them
Former AG Aondoakaa SAN, and the legal team, entered appearance as defence counsel to CBN and Emefiele, and have filed their defence. The matter commences at the Federal High Court, Abuja before Justice A R Mohammed (Court 4) on Tuesday 9 November 2021, from 9 am.
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele, have retained former attorney-general of the federation, Mike Aondoakaa, SAN to lead the legal team of Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SAN) and other counsel in the matter of Sesugh Akume v CBN (FHC/ABJ/CS/1052/2021).
It would be recalled, in that matter, I ask the court to declare both the CBN and governor, Mr Emefiele, incompetent for failing their number one job which is price control, as they have rather caused the skyrocketing of prices in the market through their bad polices and incompetence.
To declare that they (as well as other public institutions and officers) can be held liable for their incompetence especially when it negatively affects the public; to declare illegal their lending above 5% the previous year revenues of the country to the federal government, and doing so even when past loans are not repaid (leading to the country owing CBN alone N15.51 trillion) all of which affect the country adversely; and to stop them from further doing so, among other things.
Former AG Aondoakaa SAN, and the legal team, entered appearance as defence counsel to CBN and Emefiele, and have filed their defence. The matter commences at the Federal High Court, Abuja before Justice A.R Mohammed (Court 4) on Tuesday 9 November 2021, from 9 am.
