We must hear new naira suit today- Supreme Court
Justice Inyang Okoro is leading a seven-member panel.
Justice Okoro, while responding to an application by the Attorney General of Abia State seeking to join the suit as a separate suit similar to the one earlier brought by Rivers State Government through its counsel Emmanuel Ukala (SAN), said new parties wishing to join the suit would no longer be allowed.
He said new parties would abide by the outcome of the existing suits or file a new one after the determination of the present suit, but that the matter must be determined today.
“You may file a fresh suit after this suit,” Justice Amina Augie said.
The panel consolidated the suit by the Rivers State Government with others.
After announcing 11 States consolidated as co-plaintiffs, alongside Kaduna, Kogi and Zamfara states, the panel then began to hear the existing matter.
Bayelsa and Edo States remain co-defendants on the side of the Federal Government.
