Federal High Court in Abuja has reserved judgment until May 20 in
the case by Malam Sanusi Lamido
Sanusi, the suspended CBN Governor,
challenging his suspension by President Goodluck Jonathan.
The
judge, Justice Gabriel Kolawole, fixed the date after hearing the
respondent counsel’s preliminary objection and Sanusi’s counsel’s
originating summons, as well as the adoption of same.
On February 24, Sanusi challenged his suspension from office by the president and urged the court to reverse the decision.
The
President, the Attorney-General of the Federation and the
Inspector-General of Police were joined as first, second and third
defendants respectively, in the suit.
He urged the court to
restrain the defendants from “obstructing, disturbing, stopping or
preventing him in any manner whatsoever, from performing the functions
as Governor of the Central Bank”.
He also sought to be allowed to
fully enjoy the statutory powers and privileges attached to the office,
arguing that any delay might cause him irreparable and serious damages.
