Naira Redesign: Kaduna Files Contempt Of Court Charges Against FG
The Kaduna State Government filed a contempt of court suit against the Federal Government at the Supreme Court.
Abdulhakeem Mustapha SAN, Counsel to the state government, filed the case before Justice Inyang Okoro of the Supreme Court.
Mustapha told the apex court that the Federal Government flouted the order of the Supreme Court last week not complying with the extension of the use of the old naira notes.
The FG representative Kanu Agabi objected, saying the claim is based on “rumours out there.”
The panel said the issue cannot be attended to immediately until all the processes are filed and served.
But Mustapha insisted that the Federal Government is acting in executive recklessness by going ahead to ignore the order.
He, therefore, insisted that the extension should subsist.
In its response, the panel said the processes are filed and served on Friday and replies should be given on Monday to enable a hearing on Wednesday.
